TEHRAN (FNA)- Deputy Managing-
Director of Iranian Sadra Shipbuilding
Company Mehdi Seif announced on
Monday that construction of the first
home-made Aframax cargo ship is in
its final stages and the giant vessel
will be ready for delivery by the end of
the current Iranian year (ends March
20, 2013).
"The construction of this vessel started in
2009 and it will be delivered by the end
of current Iranian year," Seif said.
In August, Managing-Director of Sadra
Company Mehdi Etesam announced
construction of four highly-advanced
Aframax oil tankers for the first time in
the Middle-East by Iranian experts, saying
that the four crude vessels have been
ordered by Venezuela.
"This project was launched in Iran's
Southern waters last month and is now in
final stages of construction."
Iran in July joined the world club of oil
tanker producers after launching its first
domestically-made 113,000-ton Aframax
oil tanker in the Southern waters of the
country.
"The first Aframax oil tanker which was
built by Iranian experts at Sadra industrial
island and at the order of Venezuela is
250 meters long, 44 meters wide and 21
meters high, and has a 14.8 draft,"
Managing-Director of Iran Marine
Industrial Company (an affiliate of Sadra
group of companies) Salman Zarbi said at
the time.
He said that the Aframax weighed
113,000 tons and could traverse at the
speed of 16 knots per hour.
Appreciating the Iranian experts for
building the vessel, Zarbi said, "Iran
succeeded in building its first gigantic oil
tanker despite the westerners' cruel
sanctions."
Sadra Company had earlier announced
that the Aframax oil tanker was worth 52
million euros and was the first of its kind
built in the Middle East.
Despite the western embargos, Iran's
maritime and shipbuilding industries have
made huge progress in recent years.
