Ltd., has completed and deliv- ered a 6,500-dwt product tanker to Petroships Pte. Ltd. The vessel was named Petro Opti by Mary Loh, wife of Dr. Robert Loh, president of the National Council of Social Service, at a ceremony held in Singmarine Dockyard's Main Yard. Petro Opti is the second of two vessels Singmarine Dockyard has built for Petroships under a $35 million contract. The first vessel, Petro Venture, was delivered on schedule in April. "Petro Opti will join the Petroships fleet to serve mainly the oil majors in the East Asian region. We are confident that she will be able to perform well, just like Petro Venture," said Alan Chan, chairman of Petroships. Teh Kong Leong, chairman of Singmarine dockyard, said, "The need for modern and more efficient product tankers to renew the aging tanker fleet worldwide is expected to be translat- Officials gathered at Singmarine for the naming ceremony of Petro Opti, second of two tankers for Petroships. ed into growing demand for such newbuildings. With our track record of building a variety of tankers including LPG carriers and chemical tankers, Singmarine is well placed to benefit from this trend." Measuring 360.9 ft.

It is built in accordance with the clas- sification rules of Nippon Kaiji Kyokai (NKK) of Japan with the notation NK NS* (Tob) MNS*. The Petroships Group owns and operates 10 tankers and handles another four owned by its associates in Malaysia.
