Handysize bulk carrier (Imabari38 loggers) Tunsin was named by lady sponsor Sara Cutler, wife of Robert Cutler, staff director of John Swire & Sons.
CNCo ordered four handysizes from Imabari Shipbuilding in 2014. Deliveries of the first three ships, MV Taiyuan, MV Tientsin and MV Tsingtao took place between July and October this year. The names chosen for the vessels reflect CNCo’s long history in the Asia-Pacific region since its first ships sailed on the Yangtze River in 1872.
The four new ships, alongside five long term chartered Imabari38s and 24 Swire B.Delta39 handysize bulk carriers, will operate in Swire Bulk, CNCo’s handysize dry bulk division.
With three additional long term chartered Imabari38 loggers for delivery in 2017 and 2018, Swire Bulk continues to grow its fleet of modern eco-friendly handy tonnage and expands its service in the Pacific and Atlantic basins.
