Chinese shipyard delivers 114,000-ton oil tanker to Greek Owners

The Shanghai Waigaoqiao Shipbuilding Corporation (SWS) under China State Shipbuilding Corporation (CSSC) delivered a 114,000-ton oil tanker to a Greek shipping company, marking the first new vessel delivery of 2025 from Chinese shipyards.

The new ship, named “Seascout,” belongs to the latest generation of refined oil tankers independently designed and developed by the SWS, capable of transporting 114,000 tons of refined oil.

The vessel is equipped with an eco-friendly propulsion system, and features upgraded hydrodynamic performance and energy efficiency. It also meets the latest international emission standards, positioning it as a more environmentally responsible option for global shipping.

The new tanker has been well-received in the market, with more than 20 orders currently on hand for this model.

Looking ahead, Chinese shipyards are set to deliver a range of large vessels in 2025, including car carriers, container ships, and liquefied natural gas carriers. Additionally, the second domestically-built large cruise ship, Adora Flora City, is expected to reach key milestones, such as hull completion and its first float-out.
