New & Notable Stena Christens Tanker For Coastal Waters On October 15, 2002, Stena Bulk in Gothenburg christened its second C- MAX Class crude oil tanker, The Stena Calypso. Wfl|WIWf pWWf . II ^HflMHufflj^^KI ITSa "wmM^^^mk. Jj IBlJllgHi^fl^H
ri J The christening took place at the quay- side in Gothenburg and the vessel's god- mother was Rosalind Simmons, wife of His Excellency Peter Simmons, High Commissioner for Barbados in London. The tanker will be deployed in the Caribbean. Like its sister ship Stena Caribbean, Stena Calypso is a high-safety vessel built for service in environmentally sen- sitive waters. The vessel is characterized by extremely high maneuverability thanks to stern propellers, which can be rotated 360 degrees, and a bow pro- peller, a double bottom and integrated steering and navigation instrumentation. In addition, it has very flexible cargo intake — up to 17 different types of products can be transported simultane- ously, including liquid gas in two on- deck containers. During the vessel's christening, Lars Carlsson, president of Concordia Mar- itime — the Stena company responsible for the management of the Stena Calyp- so — said that the shipping company was following developments in the Baltic with interest. One assessment is that oil freight rates on the Baltic will double in the next five years. Consider- ing the Baltic's extreme environmental sensitivity, C-MAX-type vessels would be very well suited for service in the region. Stena is making major investments in the Safe Tanker segment. Last year, Concordia Maritime took delivery of very two large tankers built according to the same principle: Double safety, large cargo intake and a shallow draft. Carls- son also expressed concern that the stag- nating freight market could result in yards focusing on building ships with reduced safety. Carlsson, who is the chairman of the international shipowner November, 2002 organization Intertanko, said that the organization intends to introduce an award, "The Environmental Challenge", to stimulate a safety philosophy in the industry.
