Navig8 recently attended the naming ceremony for the first two of six newbuild Marineline IMO2 MR vessels being delivered by Leonhardt & Blumberg. The vessels form part of the Time Charter & Pooling Cooperation Agreement between the two companies, further strengthening their long-term partnership.

The first vessel, Hansa Guangzhou, was delivered on 18 June, with Hansa Genoa scheduled for delivery in early September. Both vessels will join Navig8’s IMO2 Gamma Pool upon delivery.
