The duel-fuelled 274-metre long ABS-class Suezmax tanker Kriti Future built by Xingang-based New Times Shipbuilding was delivered to Greek shipping company Avin International.

These types of vessels provide flexibility to prepare shipowners for a future in which alternative fuels such as ammonia take a bigger role, says ABS manager pf Greece business development Filippos Nikolatsopoulos.
