Vinashin Launches 13,500-Ton Oil Tanker in Haiphong
Nam Trieu Shipbuilding Industrial Corporation, NASICO, a member of the Vietnam Shipbuilding Industry Group (Vinashin), July 30 successfully launched an oil tanker with loading capacity of 13,500 tons in northern Haiphong city.
The US$20-million vessel is designed with 145 meters in length, 20.8 meters in width, 11.2 meters in height, and 15,000 cubic meters in tank capacity.
The ship equipped with MAN B&W main engine was built under Japanese registration agency NK's supervision.
Vinashin, which has recently signed big contracts to build ships for foreign partners, is now planning to invest in power plants, which seems to have no close links with the shipbuilding industry.
Vinashin has submitted to the Ministry of Industry and Trade the report on its plan to make investment in power plants with the total capacity of 8,000 MW. (Labor)
