Skimminq the surface in Chinese waters

摘要

UK boatbuilder Alnmaritec has launched two new pollution control catamarans for oil major PetroChina, which intends to deploy the sister boats at its refinery terminal in Tianjin. The aluminium newbuilds, ALN 122 /123 (Elastec 1/ II), were constructed at Alnmaritec's Blyth yard in early 2011 before being sent to Elastec American Marine, which collaborated with Alnmaritec on the design of the boats and supplied their onboard oil recovery and storage equipment. The vessels made their way to China in the first week of June.
