ATHENS: Onassis-controlled Springfield Shipping is to convert two oil-bulk-ore carriers to VLCCs at Oman Drydock Company (ODC), Oman.
The Selma B (319,869 dwt, built 2010) will be converted and renamed as the Olympic Lion; similarly, the Camilla T (319,900 dwt, built 2009) will be converted and become the Olympic Lion. Work is set to begin in June. ODC delivered the OBO-to-VLCC conversion Olympic Luck (319,900 dwt, built 2010) to Springfield in January this year.
“The Olympic Luck was the first major conversion job we had undertaken and its success was a tremendous showcase for the world-class workforce, skills and infrastructure that we have here at ODC,” Dr Abdulmalik Bin Abdullah Al Hinai, ODC’s chairman, said in a statement today.
