One in... BRO DEVELOPER


Taking the place of STEN EMBLA at Finnart was another Chinese-built Scandinavian-owned tanker, BRO DEVELOPER, also seen on the Clyde on a previous visit here. She had arrived at Brodick Bay on Sunday, having come from Belfast. This ship was constructed for Brostrum Tankers by the Jinling Shipyard at Nanjing, and was completed in February this year. She is driven by two Rolls Royce Azipull thrusters mounted aft, each with a separate diesel engine to drive it. This allows totally independent control of each unit, in line with the latest developments in tanker design.
