For Coordinator Melissa Zhang, who was part of the newbuilding team, the moment was memorable:
“Two sister vessels at the yard at the same time, and shoulder by shoulder for the first time since their maiden voyage. Bow Explorer is just starting her yard stay, while Bow Excellence is completing projects and preparing to sail after a successful docking. Seeing them together again after five years was both exciting and touching.”
Delivered as newbuilds to our fleet in 2020, the two advanced chemical tankers began their journeys in the midst of Covid restrictions. Five years on, the two sisters have proven the versatility of their 40 stainless steel tanks, the energy efficiency of their propulsion systems, and the leading safety records of both ship and crew. After this scheduled touch-up, both will be even better equipped to explore the oceans with excellence.
