The aframax tanker Sorocaima has finally entered service, 12 years after it was ordered by Venezuela’s PDVSA at Iran Marine Industrial Co (Imico).
The 113,000-dwt vessel, which was completed in 2013 but rejected by PDVSA, arrived off Dubai on the last day of 2017 under the name Arita. The short voyage from the Iranian port of Bushehr was its first international voyage.
