On Wednesday, June 7, General Dynamics NASSCO delivered the final ECO Class tanker constructed as part of an eight-tanker, dual-customer program. The Palmetto State was delivered to longtime customer American Petroleum Tankers (APT) during a signing ceremony at the NASSCO shipyard in San Diego, the Company said in a press release. In 2013, NASSCO entered into agreements with two companies, APT and SEA-Vista, LLC, to design and construct a total of eight 610-foot-long, 50,000 deadweight-ton, LNG-conversion-ready product tankers to include a 330,000 barrel cargo capacity each. The Palmetto State and its sister ships are the most environmentally friendly tankers to enter the Jones Act trade. The tankers’ “ECO” design offer 33 percent increased fuel efficiency and a corresponding reduction in ship emissions.
