The vessels are scheduled for delivery in the first half of 2007. Both vessels are to be constructed by Hyundai Heavy Industries (HHI). and represent the 26th and 27th vessels in TEN's newbuilding program since 1997. TEN's manage- ment believes that these vessels will be in heavy demand by Russian.

Eastern Siberia and Alaska will start producing oil and will require these spe- cialized tankers for its transportation.
