The first voyage of the tanker “Zangilan”, built at the Baku Shipyard by order of the Azerbaijan Caspian Shipping Company (ASCO), took place to the Turkmen port of Aladzha.
As reported by Day.Az with reference to ASCO, on July 17, a new tanker delivered a batch of Turkmen crude oil to the Sangachal seaport of Azerbaijan for further transit (via the Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan oil pipeline).
It should be noted that the official ceremony in connection with the start of operation of the new generation tanker “Zangilan” was held in Baku on July 2.
The tanker is 141 meters long, 16.9 meters wide and has 6 cargo tanks. Its total cargo capacity is 7800 tons.
Such technical characteristics of the vessel allow it to enter ports of the Caspian basin and transport cargo beyond its borders with maximum carrying capacity.
“Zangilan” is the fourth domestic tanker built at the Baku Shipyard.
Three more new generation tankers (similar to the Zangilan tanker) will be built at this plant by order of ASCO.
