FERICEK

The FERICEK is a chemical/products tanker with a deadweight tonnage (DWT) of 10,106 tonnes and an overall length (LOA) of 126.0 meters. Built in 1996, this double-hulled vessel is designed for the safe transport of bulk liquid cargoes, adhering to MARPOL standards. Its operational profile indicates suitability for regional trade routes, especially in areas requiring compliance with stringent safety regulations.

The current AIS data indicates that the vessel is en route to ESCRS, with an estimated time of arrival on October 3 at 07:00. The draft is currently unknown, which limits the assessment of its loading status; however, its course suggests it is navigating towards a port for loading or discharging operations.

The FERICEK is positioned in a niche market for chemical and product transportation, where compliance with environmental regulations is critical. Its operational status and upcoming port call at ESCRS may attract interest from charterers looking for reliable tankers for short to medium-haul voyages. Given its age, brokers should consider the vessel's maintenance history when negotiating charter rates.

The FERICEK's specifications include a gross tonnage of 6,737 and a net tonnage of 3,242, indicating a moderate capacity for liquid cargo. The vessel's propulsion system, utilizing geared drive oil engines and distillate fuel, should be assessed for fuel efficiency and operational costs, particularly in the context of current fuel market fluctuations. Brokers should also consider the vessel's compliance with MARPOL regulations when evaluating its marketability.
