Sweden’s Thun Tankers, part of Erik Thun, has placed an order at Dutch yard Scheepswerf Ferus Smit for a pair of 7,999 dwt eco product tankers. The vessels of the so-called R-class are a further development of Thun’s existing vessels with a focus on resource efficiency, environmental responsibility, and logistical reliability, the company said. The ships will feature adaptive propulsion to minimise energy usage; a UPS battery pack; the latest hull design; and the newest and most resource-efficient machinery.
