AET’s latest tankers qualified for Green Passport notation

On 8 June 2017, AET tankers unveiled its two new long-range (LR2) petroleum tankers from Hyundai Heavy Industries (HHI) at Gunsan Shipyard, Korea.

These latest additions to AET’s fleet are expected to reduce environmental footprint, as they have been designed to optimise overall operational efficiency and minimise environmental impact, which effectively qualifies them for the Green Passport notation.

The sister vessels were ceremonialised at a naming ceremony in Gunsan. The Singapore flagged 114,000dwt “Eagle Lyon” and French-flagged “Eagle Le Havre”, are owned by AET, and have been taken on long-term charter by French oil major TOTAL.

The Green Passport notation is in line with AET’s Green Sustainability Agenda that focuses on caring for the environment through responsible shipping operations.
