HTM New Tanker Capable of Supplying Bunkers Starts Maiden Voyage
Hercules Tanker Management (HTM), the shipping firm established by Peninsula owner John Bassadone, has started the maiden voyage of a new tanker capable of transporting and supplying conventional and alternative marine fuels.
The vessel, Hercules Vanessa, is the latest addition to HTM’s 10-vessel ultra-spec series, which is part of the company’s fleet renewal programme, the company said in a LinkedIn post on yesterday.
The tanker can handle fuels including B100 and methanol and is designed to improve efficiency and reduce emissions.
Hercules Vanessa is the first vessel in the series to feature MarineLINE cargo tank coating.
It is currently sailing to Port Louis for bunkers and provisions before continuing towards Cape Town.
The vessel is carrying a biofuel cargo loaded at Nansha Terminal in China and is scheduled to discharge the cargo in Ghent later this year.
