The Naming Ceremony for 25,000 DWT IMO II Chemical/Product Tanker (MD096) was successfully held in Nantong prince dock today.
On the ceremony, God mother Mrs. Pinker named the vessel “Reinhold Schulte”.
More than one hundred people attended the ceremony, including friends from Bernhard Schulte, SMC, DNV and trading house as well as Shipyard’s own employees.
MD096 is the last 25, 000DWT IMO II Chemical/Product Tanker among the three vessels the company built for Bernhard Schulte.
