On May 16, 2017, the Okskaya sudoverf (part of UCL Holding) sent the thirteenth tanker chemical project RST27 "Balt-Fleet 14", construction number 2713 for passage of sea trials. Then the vessel will be handed over to the customer - LLC "BF Tanker".
Construction of the vessel was carried out as part of a contract with the Okskaya sudoverf concluded in September 2015 at the International Exhibition "NEVA-2015".
Descent of the vessel took place on June 8, 2016. During the construction process, the customer decided to re-equip the tanker to the chemical carrier vessel to IMO2 class, which was carried out until now.
As part of the re-equipment of the vessel, the Okskaya sudoverf has implemented a new system for cleaning and preparing ship holds for coatings required for the safe loading and transportation of various types of cargo. The new system made it possible to automate auxiliary operations in ship holds and reduce their labor intensity by 35 times.
