The rewards of saving time and
safeguarding against contamination
of the cargo are substantial
– Money saved and an increase in goodwill

A standard Panamax tanker has the deck structure below

deck. This creates corners and blind spots which are
difficult to clean. Even after cleaning is completed, you
basically have a tanker for crude and dirty products, with
the ability to carry clean products.
However, the Stena Panamax has turned the tables.
Our tank structure is placed on the deck leaving the
epoxy coated cargo tanks smooth and completely free of
obstacles. There are no blind spots or any pockets for cargo
residues to be trapped in. This makes the tanks very easy
to clean. The change from dirty to clean products can be
made in a considerably shorter time than on a standard
vessel, while minimizing the risk of contamination. The
tanks can thus be prepared en route to the next load
area with a minimum or no loss of time.
The Stena Panamax is a product tanker ready
to carry clean as well as dirty products at short notice.
Flexibility when it comes to cargo grades is further
enhanced by a feature usually only found in clean-
product tankers – a corrugated centreline bulkhead in
the cargo tanks.
Additionally, the boiler capacity has been increased
for improved cargo heating and tank cleaning.

The Stena Panamax is fitted with a more

powerful main engine than normal for
this class of ship. The vessel is capable
to sail in ballast at 16 knots and loaded
passages at 15.5 knots. This is conside-
rably faster than most of the panamax
tankers now trading. A faster ship saves
time, and time is money!
 In this double hull tanker, all
tanks containing cargo, fuel
oil and contaminated water
have double hull protection
or void space between their
boundaries and the hull.
Cargo tanks are fitted with
corrugated center line and
transverse bulkheads.

The hull is
designed for
fatigue life of
40 years world-
wide operation.

Soot contamination is a constant

problem when carrying clean cargoes
on board vessels fitted with a traditio-
nal flue gas system. In order to avoid
this, the Stena Panamax is equipped
with both inert gas generator and
flue gas system. The combination is a
priceless tool when changing between
clean and dirty products.
If you look at the main particulars, the Stena

Panamax is a true Panamax tanker.

The outer dimensions are maximized to fit

the Panama canal.

However, the Stena Panamax differs in many

respects from the standard product tanker.

At short notice, it is ready to carry clean as

well as dirty products. It offers superior safe-

guards against contamination of clean cargo.

And it is noticeably faster.

And the bottom line – the most important

difference between the Stena Panamax and

a standard Panamax tanker is the money you

don’t have to spend.

Oil should always travel first class!
