In addition to this, it has also received LNG Ready Level 1 approval from the American Bureau of Shipping (ABS).

The vessel is 600 ft long, and has a carrying capacity of 14.5 million gal. of crude oil or refined products.

The President and CEO of Philly Shipyard, Steinar Nerbovik, said: “We are proud to deliver another quality vessel to American Petroleum Tankers.
