Nordic Tankers to take delivery of new vessel from China
NORDIC HANNE takes up name of older vessel now sold






Nordic Tankers has taken delivery of another handy-size product tanker.

It is a 38.500 tons deadweight newbuilding from the Guangzhou Shipyard International in China. The vessel will be delivered from the shipyard late September, and taken over by the Company under the name NORDIC HANNE during January 2008.

The new vessel will join the Handytankers Pool managed by Maersk Tankers. Nordic Tankers already have two similar ships in this pool and further two are under construction for delivery in 2009.

The new product tanker will be operated through Nordic Seaarland Tankers in Amsterdam.

The new NORDIC HANNE takes over the name from the 84.000 tons deadweight HANNE which has been sold to a Singapore based Company. The ship was built in 1987 at the now closed B&W-shipyard in Copenhagen. It was the last of three sisterships that originally was the background for establishing Difko 47 – now Nordic Tankers. The new owners took delivery of her last month.
