The vessel, Brightoil Gravity, is among the largest oil tankers in the world and designed with the most modern and fuel efficient features, Brightoil claimed.
The tanker is also equipped with onboard blending facility which allows the ship to mix different grades of cargo while at sea, thereby minimising costs on shore.
With the delivery of Brightoil Gravity, Hong Kong-listed Brightoil currently operates two VLCCs. The company is waiting to take delivery of a remaining three VLCCs currently under construction.
The five VLCCs, to be available to Brightoil by the first half of 2013, will bring the group's fleet to a total capacity exceeding 2m dwt, with the ability to carry approximately 20m tonnes of oil each year.
