John T Essberger Group has ordered two 13,000-dwt chemical tankers, Ann-Mari Essberger and Nofretete Essberger, from a Chinese shipyard, with financing provided by Hamburg Commercial Bank under a nearly 14-year loan agreement. Set for delivery in mid-2027, the vessels will operate in the North and Baltic Seas, featuring methanol-capable engines and compliance with IMO Tier III emissions standards. Each tanker will include 18 stainless steel tanks with a total capacity of 15,000 m³ and will be integrated into the E&S Tankers Pool.
