Stena Bulk AB (Stena Bulk) says its newest bunker-saving chemical and product tanker, Stena Impero, was named yesterday in a ceremony at Guangzhou, China.

The vessel is the last in a series of 13 sister ships ordered by Stena Bulk at the Guangzhou Shipbuilding International (GSI) shipyard in 2012.

Energy-saving features are noted to include, main engine auto-tuning, efficient boiler with recovery from multiple heat sources, and recovery of propeller energy loss.

In August, Stena Bulk held a naming ceremony the 11th and 12th in the series, Stena Imperator and Stena Imprimis.
