Thanks a lot for the info, David and Ian! They did look like a 110.000 DWT vessels to me...

Anyway, now I could "properly" upload their pictures here.

Hi Vlad,

It has been reported that the entire series had been sold to Hyundai wih a BB-charter back to BP. Up to now I have not found any prrof that the deal actually went ahead.

To make sure you can continue uploading images :), here are the IMO's and names of the omplete series:

IMO     Hull               Name
9683001   - STX JINHAE 1611 - BRITISH RESPECT
9683013   - STX JINHAE 1612 - BRITISH RENOWN
9683025   - STX JINHAE 1613 - BRITISH RELIANCE
9683037   - STX JINHAE 1614 - BRITISH RESOURCE
9683049   - STX JINHAE 1615 - BRITISH RIGOUR
9683051   - STX JINHAE 1616 - BRITISH RESOLUTION
9683063   - STX JINHAE 1617 - BRITISH REGARD
9683075   - STX JINHAE 1618 - BRITISH RESTRAINT
9683087   - STX JINHAE 1619 - BRITISH REASON


Quite sure you will get them all  ;)

Like many of the modern BP ships, I wonder just how "British" the new ships will actually be, in fact I'm surprised the PR obsessed BP of today has permitted the retention of the "British" prefix.
The previous (70s) built R class were all built in Japan and had long lives (for VLCC's). Not particularly easy to work as they got older, but they were at least UK manned at the time, a now long forgotten state of affairs.

Hi Vlad,
BRITISH RESPECT has turned up in Kwinana, Western Australia with a load of crude.

The whole series appear to have been acquired by Kukje Maritime Investment Corp (Kmarin), Seoul, for charter to BP.

BP have sold off all their new builds to Korean and Chinese Banks and leased them back
