Hudong-Zhonghua Shipbuilding (Group) is not only making its mark in LNG shipbuilding but history as well, by constructing the world’s largest stainless-steel chemical tanker.
This summer, it delivered the 49,000-dwt Bow Orion to Odfjell. The tanker is part of a four-ship order that the Norwegian shipowner placed in 2016.
But the yard is no newcomer to this type of vessel, having secured its first contract for six 38,000-dwt newbuildings from Stolt Nielsen in 2012.
