Netherlands-based Thun Tankers took delivery of two newbuild product tankers from separate shipbuilders on Thursday, May 9.

One of the vessels is Thun Lidkoping, the first of a series of five 18,650DWT product tankers ordered from Avic Dingheng Shipbuilding in China.

The second is the 8,000DWT Thun Evolve, which was delivered by Dutch builder Ferus Smit. The vessel is the second in a series of four tankers that are built to use either natural gas or biogas as fuel.

The two newbuilds will enter service with the Gothia Tanker Alliance network.
