Two 400,000 dwt VLOC for Oman Shipping
« on: July 15, 2011, 06:15:20 PM »
July 8th, 2011.  No sooner had the 400,000 DWT "Vale China" been launched at Nantong, when a steel cutting ceremony for two 400,000 DWT VLOCs named H1125\H1126 built for Oman shipping company was held in RSHI

These vessels are the same design as Vale China or different?

All vessels follow the "Valemax" design, that was created by Vale some time ago. As I mentioned, they will be chartered by Vale.

Yep, they are. The first one, BERGE EVEREST, should be almost finished. picture:

Thank you for the link, she's a beauty (her depth looks quite small though, under 25 meters), unlike Vale's VLOC. Do you happen to know the names of the other 3 sisterships, or even more pictures of Everest?(found a few more on Google) Thanks again.

have a look over here: http://www.bergebulk.com/pages/sub_pages.asp?p=10

all four newbuilds are mentioned there, with names. If you like ore carriers, then I'm sure you'll like the rest of the site as well.

Yes, I checked the "In Construction" subsection of that site, too bad the pictures are minuscule.

The four Oman Shipping Valemaxes have been assigned "vale" names, which are:

Vale Liwa
Vale Sohar
Vale Shinas
Vale Saham
