Bahri, a global leader in transportation and logistics, has reached a new milestone by accepting delivery of ‘Rimthan,’ a 300,000-dwt carrier built by Hyundai Samho Heavy Industries (HSHI) in South Korea. The addition of ‘Rimthan’ to its fast-growing fleet of multipurpose vessels, reinforces Bahri’s position as the world’s largest owner and operator of Very Large Crude-oil Carriers (VLCCs) with a 40-strong fleet. The new vessel, built to the latest environmental and fuel-efficient technical specifications, was handed over to Bahri during a delivery ceremony held at HSHI’s Mokpo shipyard in South Jeolla Province, South Korea. Senior Bahri and HSHI officials who attended the ceremony included Mr. Saleh Al-Debasi, Bahri Board Member, Dr. Abdulmalik Al-Hogail, Bahri Board Member, Mr. M. K. Yoon, President and CEO of HSHI, Mr. Hisham Al-Nughaimish, Acting President of Bahri Oil, among others. ‘Rimthan’ is the fourth VLCC to join the Bahri fleet this year, following the delivery of ‘Amjad,’ ‘Maharah,’ and, more recently, ‘Aslaf.’
