In Guangzhou from Sweden, not only IKEA

瑞典船东与广船国际签署大型新造船订单

There will be another huge project in Guangzhou after the IKEA store from Sweden. Stena Bulk in partnership with Concordia Maritime has signed a total of 4 newbuilding MR chemical/products tankers contract with 4 further options with Guangzhou Shipyard International (GSI) last week. This move followed on from last month fresh order signed between Concordia Maritime and Guangzhou Shipyard International for 2 vessels of the same type. Stena Bulk and Concordia Maritime are both members of Dan Sten Olsson lead Sweden’s largest family owned corporate group -- Stena Sphere.

继宜家商场之后，广州又将迎来一个来自瑞典的大型工程。Stena Bulk联合Concordia Maritime于上周和广船国际签订了一份4+4的MR型化学品/成品油轮的建造合同。此前不久Concordia Maritime刚刚与广船国际签订了2条同样类型的船舶的订单。Stena Bulk和Concordia Maritime均为瑞典最大的家族企业Dan Sten Olsson领导的Stena Sphere集团旗下成员。

The design of these modern 50,000 dwt vessels has been developed by Stena Weco, Stena Bulk, Concordia Maritime, Stena Teknik and Guangzhou Shipyard International collaboratively.

Scheduled for delivery from beginning of spring 2014, these vessels are probably the most innovative Eco tankers existing with completely new hull lines, specially designed propellers and higher fuel efficiency. The price is set to be 40 million USD each. “We believe that the timing, as regards shipbuilding prices, is also right” adds Concordia Maritime’s President Hans Norén. After delivery, they will be joining the fleet of Stena Weco for transportation of refined oils, vegetable oils, palm oils, edible oils and etc.

这批载重约50,000吨的现代新型船舶的设计工作时由Stena Weco, Stena Bulk, Concordia Maritime, Stena Teknik和广船国际共同完成的。该船将拥有全新的更加先进的船体设计，更加特别的推进器和更好性能的油耗，其将成为目前最节能环保的创新型油轮，并计划于2014年春季开始交付。据透露，每条船的造价约为4千万美元。Concordia Maritime的总裁表示：“我认为现在正是增购油轮的好时机，加上船价较低，所以我们出手了。”新船交付后，将会加入到Stena Weco的船队，用来经营运输精炼油，植物油，棕榈油，食用油等。

Flexibility is paramount to be competitive in the tanker segment. To be such a player, ships must be able to carry a wide range of cargoes. And another advantage in the fierce completion will be the ship’s ability to quickly switch between various types and grades of cargoes. “It is with great pleasure we are now getting a new specially designed fleet optimized for our cargo contracts within the Stena Weco Pool” says Erik Hånell, Managing Director of Stena Weco. It is very stimulating that our owners and partners believe in what we have created so far and order these ships that will be commercially managed by Stena Weco, Erik Hånell concluded.

在油轮市场，船队灵活性对一个有竞争力的公司至关重要。要想成拥有这样的船队，其船舶必须可以运输不同种类的货油。想要在残酷的竞争中取得优势，另一点要需要取得的优势是要使自己的船队可以在运输不同成色种类货油的选择中快速切换。Stena Weco的董事总经理Erik Hånell表示：“很高兴Stena Weco的船队将会迎来一批全新精心设计的船舶来参与到我们日常的运输服务中。”作为运营公司，能得到船东以及合作伙伴对我们工作的认可，并为我们订造了这批新船，我们感到很兴奋，他最后总结道。

And according to Fairplay, Guangzhou Shipyard International is China's most prolific builder of medium-range  (27,000-54,999dwt) tankers, having delivered 135 such vessels since 1992.

根据Fairplay的数据显示，广船国际是中国最具赢利能力的MR型(27,000-54,999dwt)油轮建造者，自1992年开始已经陆续交付135条该船型船舶。（by paris zhang）
