Chemmariner moves forward into the new year with new builds, and renewed committments to quality

Chemmariner is steadily progressing into the 2009 year with the continuation of their most recent new build M/T Jasmin.

The youngest twin sister to the Chemmariner fleet is new build Jasmin underway since July 2008 at  Argem Shipyards, Turkey. Scheduled for delivery in October 2009, Jasmin is identical to the other sister vessels.  These vessels all implement the highest quality standards.

In line with the company’s environmental practices and standards, they continue to use the worlds first biodegradeable marine lubricant,Castrol Marine. APC MarineLine Coating, and Hempel Hull Coating with Silicon Technologies which are used for cargo tanks and hulls. Chemmariner ‘s new builds also use environmentally friendly hydraulic oil, stern tube / gear oil, multipurpose EP grease,  synthetic gear oil in areas where there is a risk of spillage/leakage that could result in environmental damage.

Chemmariner continues to serve the the same high standard of quality to all client oil/chemical majors. Their fleet travels all seas, even cross Atlantic voyages and West-African trading routes. Regardless of their route, Chemmariner gives their clientele  a consistent and reliable environmentally sounds means of cargo transportation.

Chemmariner's newest build, the Lady M/T Violet departs on her maiden voyage.
From start to finish, a sound principle and a conscious effort.

Chemmariner is pleased to announce the departure of Lady M/T Violet on her maiden voyage.
Leaving Istanbul, Turkey, Lady M/T Violet will make her way to load in Midia Romania, then continue her scheduled voyage to discharge in Ilichevsky-Ukraine.

The Lady M/T Violet is Chemmariner's most recently completed shipbuild. This vessel has benefitted from having Chemmariner's staff, not third party contractors work from start to finish on the new build on-site.  The companys policy to ship products in an environmentally friendly way is reinforced by beginning the Lady M/T Violet's first voyage using Castrol Marine, the worlds first biodegradable marine lubricant. After the first voyage of the Lady M/T Violet, all of
the Chemmariner fleet will now implement this high performance, environmentally friendly marine lubricant.
Lady M/T Violet employs many other high performance components to deliver cargo safely and efficiently.  In addition to using Castrol Marine the cargo tanks have been protected using MarineLine, the high performance anti-corrosive coating. The vessel is certified by the Bureau Veritas, and is compliant with all regulations currently in place.

Chemmariner continues to experience company growth, and intends to continue the steady expansion of their fleet. A strong and dependent company name within the chemical industry between 5,000 and 8000 dwt, Chemmariner builds and intends to continue building all vessels to the industry standards. Equally special attention is given to the maintenance of these vessels as well as up-to-date training provisions for the staff, both at sea and on the shoreside. An Intertanko as well as BV Member Chemmariner uses a concentrated management staff to oversee all aspects of chemical tanker management and new building processes. Chemmariner vessels are mainly trading in Europe (Black Sea, Mediterranean, ARA, Baltic), but are incidentally also trading West-African and cross Atlantic voyages as well. Currently holding COA's and voyage charters with companies such as  Exxon, BP, etc- all vessels can trade IMO II cargoes and are MarineLine coated offering the advantage to clients of efficient and environmentally sound means of transportation of cargo. From start to finish, Chemmariner begins and ends with the same standard of quality with sound principles used in an eco-friendly way.

The launch of the new Lady M/T Violet!

We are very proud to announce the launch of our new Lady M/T VIOLET which commenced on June 1st, 2008.

The lady M/T Violet is one of the most sophisticated Chemical Tankers in our fleet which will be put in service in September of 2008.

All proceeding new building contracts are progressing steadily at ARGEM shipyard.

Chemmariner implementing environmentally friendly solutions.

Chemmarriner currently operates a high performance fleet of five chemical tankers and also has a new building programme consisting of five tankers due for delivery from Turkish yards into 2010. 

As part of their committment to transporting products in an environmentally friendly manner, they have implemented use of Castrol Marine on all vessels. Castrol Marine is claimed to be the world's first biodegradable marine lubricant which  is 10 times less toxic, and 100 per cent more biodegradable than conventional material, also exceeding U.S. Environmental Protect agency requirements.

Taking delivery in Belgium, M/T Alfatem took the first consignment in the world on board. Next, the Star 1 took consignment on board at Izmir, Turkey. Following that, the M/T Acacia, and M/T Lilac converted lubricants.

Currently, Lady M/T Violet, which is entering service September 2008 will take her maiden voyage implementing the environmentally sound practice from the very initial stages. The future new build tankers also plan to implement Castrol Marine- as one more way in which they can contribute to shipping products worldwide, keeping the environment in mind for the very beginning stage.
