ROC Signs Contract with European Shipowner for Six 13,000 DWT High-End Chemical Tankers

Recently, Subsidiary Rainbow Offshore of Rainbowco officially signed a construction contract with a European owner for six 13,000 DWT duplex stainless steel chemical tankers (including optional vessel orders). Focusing on the high-end chemical tanker market segment, this order marks the company's continued high recognition by major international shipowners in the high-end stainless steel chemical tanker sector.

The newly signed order reflects a design philosophy that balances efficient operation with low-carbon environmental performance. The vessel has an overall length of 132 meters and a breadth of 21.8 meters, offering excellent adaptability for navigation through narrow waterways and the flexibility to handle complex navigation conditions in Northern Europe. The ship is equipped with 12 independent duplex stainless steel cargo tanks. By combining flexible multi-compartment zoning with high-performance materials, the vessel can not only meet the stringent cleanliness and corrosion-resistance requirements of chemical transportation in Northern Europe, but also carry multiple categories of high-value-added chemicals on a single voyage, significantly enhancing per-voyage operating revenue and creating greater economic value for customers.

The successful placement of this order fully demonstrates the high trust that renowned shipowners in the industry place in ROC's special vessel R&D and construction capabilities as well as its project delivery and control capabilities. With the successive landing of multiple European orders, the company's order book structure has been continuously optimized, the proportion of high-end special vessel orders has steadily increased, and its brand influence in the European market has been further enhanced. ROC is gradually becoming the preferred partner of leading global shipowners, and its pace of international development is becoming increasingly solid.

Looking ahead, ROC will continue to anchor its strategic direction of high-end, green, and international development. The company will continue to devote efforts to the R&D and manufacturing of green, low-carbon special vessels, deepen its expansion into high-end overseas markets with more refined craftsmanship and excellent delivery, and strive to build a benchmark brand for global high-end special vessel construction.
