Karvounis

Marine Vehicles

Karvounis was a Suezmax crude oil tanker built by Sumitomo Heavy Industries at its Yokosuka yard as yard number 1375. Her keel was laid on 14 December 2011, she was launched on 2 July 2012 and she was delivered on 21 March 2013, although the builder's own history page lists her delivery under 2012. The builder presents Suezmax tankers as the second pillar of its shipbuilding business alongside Aframax tankers, because only a limited number of yards can build them. She is 274.04 metres long overall with a beam of 49 metres, a deadweight of 156,000 tonnes and a gross tonnage of 80,427, and her main engine is a MAN B&W 6S70MC-C8 built by Mitsui Engineering and Shipbuilding. A ship record lists Kartal and Karvounis as her former names, now sailing as Sigrun, and shows her as active.
