15JUL2019 - NEWS - Romanian shipbuilder looks to the future with new MR1 series

Histria Shipmanagement is breaking new ground with its EcoMax series MR1 tankers

Histria Atlas is the first tanker in an EcoMax series of three plus three 180 m-long, 41,000-dwt MR1 tankers. The series is the culmination of five years of development by SNC, Histria Shipping and Italian class society RINA – and builds on its owner’s experience of building customised vessels for the tanker trades.

Histria Shipmanagement, the vessel owner, benefits from being part of a group that has the capability to design, build and operate its own ships. As such it can set its own design and vessel parameters, work with preferred suppliers, and construct and supervise newbuilding projects in its own shipyard.
