SCI takes delivery of Supramax bulk carrier from STX (Dalian)
The Shipping Corporation of India accepted delivery of a Supramax bulk carrier, MV Vishva Prerna on November 1. The vessel has gross tonnage of 33,185 tonnes and deadweight of 57,161 tonnes. It has been classed with DNV and IRS and built to comply with the latest and most stringent international regulations. It is the second of the six Supramax bulk carriers SCI ordered from STX (Dalian) Shipbuilding Co. Ltd, China, in December 2007. The remaining four ships are scheduled to be delivered in a phased manner by March 2012. These vessels were ordered as part replacement for SCI's existing Daewoo series Handymax bulk carriers built in 1986-87. With their induction, the overall age profile of SCI's bulk carrier fleet will improve significantly.
