Current projects at Selah include a pair of 6,000 dwt bitumen tankers for Merpetrol, which will be delivered by the end of the year. Designed by Delta Marine of Turkey, these vessels can transport bitumen at temparatures of up to 180° C. At the end of June, work is scheduled to start at Selah yard on another 6200 dwt product tanker of Palmali, which has options on three more sisterships, while in October the yard will start cutting steel for a 7,100 dwt chemical tanker for Atlantik Shipping of Turkey. Selah says it has orders that will keep the yard busy until mid-2005. Moreover, it is in "serious negotiations" with shipowners that could lead to contracts for a further two vessels. This would then fill the yard to the end of 2005. |
