Hanjin Shipping announced today that it received its first tanker.
With Hanjin Shipping’s tradition to name its ships after cities around the world, the company’s first tanker is named “Ras Tanura”, the major oil port of Saudi Arabia. “Hanjin Ras Tanura” is a Very Large Crude Carrier (VLCC) of 300,000 ton-class with a double-hull design based on Fuel Oil Tank Protection (FOTP). The ship is also equipped with a fuel-efficient and highly economic engine.

We will continue to expand our bulk business in order to optimize our business portfolio, which currently concentrates on container business.”
