OTTOMAN NOBILITY

The OTTOMAN NOBILITY is a crude oil tanker built in 2005 with a deadweight tonnage of 152,622 tonnes, optimized for the transportation of liquid cargoes. With an overall length of 269.19 meters and a double hull design compliant with MARPOL standards, the vessel is engineered for safety and efficiency in crude oil transport. Currently engaged in trading, it is flagged under Turkey, indicating potential operational flexibility in regional markets.

The vessel's current AIS data indicates a speed of 0.2 knots, suggesting it may be moored or at anchor, possibly in preparation for loading operations at its destination of SGSIN AEPA, expected by September 28. The draft utilization is currently unknown; however, a low draft could indicate it is not fully laden.

The OTTOMAN NOBILITY's operational profile places it favorably within the global crude oil market, particularly for routes requiring large capacity vessels. Its age suggests it is still within an operational range that may appeal to charterers seeking reliability without premium rates associated with newer builds. Market dynamics related to crude oil demand can further influence its chartering opportunities.

With a gross tonnage of 79,969 and a net tonnage of 48,804, the vessel's specifications indicate a robust capacity for carrying crude oil. The propulsion type, utilizing oil engines with direct drive, should be considered for operational efficiency and fuel consumption assessments during charter negotiations. Its age and construction by a reputable shipyard may impact charter rates positively, reflecting quality and reliability.
