AI Maritime Summary
Intelligent vessel analysis

ERICA 9 is an asphalt/bitumen tanker with a deadweight tonnage of 1,291 tonnes and a length overall of 68.8 meters, built in 1991.

As a vessel built in 1991, its age may impact charter rates, necessitating consideration of maintenance and compliance with current maritime regulations.
Market Insights
Commercial market analysis

In the current market, ERICA 9 may appeal to brokers and charterers focusing on regional asphalt transportation. The vessel's trading status indicates active involvement in the market, which could facilitate competitive charter rates. However, brokers should assess the potential impact of the vessel's age on reliability and operational efficiency.

Technical Analysis
Engineering & specifications

With a gross tonnage of 979 and a net tonnage of 398, ERICA 9's specifications suggest a modest capacity for cargo flexibility. Its deadweight tonnage allows for substantial loads of asphalt or related cargoes, which is critical for brokers considering operational efficiency and cost-effectiveness in chartering decisions.
