The tanker “Northsea Rational”, chartered by Petrogás

Maritime Distributor Petrogás, the naval arm of DISA, has chartered the tanker “Northsea Rational” to cover its transport capacity in the Canary Islands. Since mid-October, it has been in service for the shipping company based in Santa Cruz de Tenerife, replacing the tanker “Hespérides”, which is making a series of supply trips to ports in Morocco.

Formerly “Frosta”-14 (launched as “Commangenian”), it is a Turkish-built vessel that entered service in July 2006. Flagged in Malta and owned by North Sea Chemicals, it registers 3,991 gross tons and 5,675 deadweight tons, with a hull measuring 108.50 m in length and 16 m in beam. It has a capacity of 6,300 cubic meters and is powered by a MAN B&W engine, allowing it to maintain a speed of 14 knots. IMO Code 9334296.
