Brunvoll has signed a contract with Samsung Heavy Industries Co., Ltd for the delivery of a manoeuvring package for Tsakos Energy Navigation Ltd.'s new DP2 shuttle tanker. The contract is for equipment for one vessel, with two additional vessels as an option. Tsakos already has two vessels under construction with the same equipment and this adds up to potentially five vessels in total.

The delivery from Brunvoll consists of three retractable azimuth thrusters, two tunnel thrusters, and Brunvoll’s Propulsion and Thruster Control system, BruCon PTC, with three operating positions. The combined power output of all the thrusters is approximately 17,000 kW.

Suezmax dimensions

The vessel will be Samsung's new building no. 2708 and have a loading capacity of 154.400 deadweight tons. The vessels will be built according to Suezmax dimensions. Tsakos has a fleet of four DP2 shuttle tankers in operation and three under construction, where of all have systems from Brunvoll.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank Tsakos and Samsung for choosing us to equip this vessel with our thruster systems. We are grateful for their trust in our products and look forward to the delivery and seeing the vessel on the water,” says Anders Ulvestad, VP Sales at Brunvoll.
