The speed suggests that the vessel is likely operating efficiently within its service parameters.
The NORTHERNLIGHT's operational status and position in the market make it a suitable option for brokers looking to secure contracts for crude and oil product transport in Europe. Its relatively recent build date positions it favorably against older tankers, which may be less attractive to charterers concerned about compliance and operational reliability. The vessel's specifications suggest flexibility in cargo handling, appealing to a range of clients.
With a DWT of 74,565 tonnes and a gross tonnage of 42,208 tonnes, the NORTHERNLIGHT's capacity is well-suited for medium to large cargo loads. The vessel's propulsion type (oil engine, direct drive) and use of distillate fuel indicate a focus on efficiency and regulatory compliance. Its construction by Hyundai Mipo Dockyard ensures modern safety and performance standards, critical for charter negotiations.
