This ceremony took place at the Ferus Smit Shipyard in Leer. The event included the launch and also a naming ceremony, highlighting the importance of this vessel within the fleet.
Features of the Thun Reliance R-class eco tanker
The Thun Reliance joins her sister ship, the Thun Resource, delivered in February this year, both designed with a length of 115 meters and a beam of 15 meters. This new tanker has an impressive cargo tank capacity of 9,540 m 3 .

In terms of technical specifications, the R Class tankers represent an evolution of the previous E Class tankers recently delivered to Thun Tankers.
Although they share similar dimensions, the new ships have thirteen lined cargo tanks , which reinforces their functionality. Innovative elements such as adaptive propulsion to reduce energy consumption, a UPS battery system, an advanced hull design and efficient machinery are key to its new features.
