The 115,000-dwt vessel, freshly constructed by Sumitomo Heavy Industries , will be on charter for 150 days. Based in Singapore, N2 Tankers is a collaboration between Nissen Kauin and Reederei Nord
. This procurement signifies the immediate commercial utilization of the ship following its completion in 2025.
