HÀ NỘI — The Phà Rừng Shipyard Company under the Vinashin Group on Friday handed over to a South Korean partner a 6,500DWT oil tanker following a contract signed in 2016.

The oil tanker, coded BS01 and named ‘YN YEOSU’, is 109.4m long and 18.2m wide, and can hold up to 7,700 cubic metres of goods. It is designed for 18 crewmembers.

The vessel was designed by Asia Ship Design & Consultants Co, Ltd and certified by South Korea register agency which is equipped with modern equipment mainly from Korea and Japan.

This is the first of the three oil tankers of the same kind that the company has delivered to a Korean partner under the contract. The Phà Rừng Shipyard is accelerating the construction of the remaining two tankers, BS02 and BS03, thus handing over them to the Korean company ahead of schedule. — VNS
