VORSTENBOSCH 9484132
Rotterdam's newest and 'most advanced bunker tanker' is undergoing sea-trials next days. 13,500 mt capacity Vorstenbosch expected to come on station next month. It measures 147 x 22.80 x 6.36 metres (the largest tanker barge to date was 135 metres). The vessel is owned by VT Minerals. The Vorstenbosch will transport bunker oil in Rotterdam and the other ARA ports. The ship will respond to the increase in scale in container shipping. Sea vessels with capacities of up to 15,000 TEU have larger fuel tanks that need to be filled in the same short time in the port as the smaller vessels.
