The series, planned for a total of four vessels, marks GSI's first order breakthrough in the Latin American market. Developed as a new-generation single-fuel LRI tanker tailored to the owner's requirements, the vessel will be chartered by Braskem. With an overall length of 228 meters, a beam of 36 meters, a structural draft of 13.5 meters, and a service speed of 14.0 knots, the tanker meets IMO TIER II emission standards and achieves an EEDI energy efficiency index at Phase 3. It features low energy consumption, high speed, lightweight empty ship weight, and strong adaptability, with energy consumption indicators, environmental performance, and reliability ranking among the industry's top levels. Its vibration standard is COMF-VIB CREW C, and its noise standard is COMF-NOISE CREW A, the highest levels for liquid cargo vessels built by GSI, effectively ensuring high comfort and safety.

GSI stated that this project pioneered the application of an MBD-based paperless production model for the entire vessel. Through scientific management and technological innovation, it promoted the integration of design and construction, continuously optimizing the building process. The vessel was launched ahead of the original plan, completed sea trials within five days, and was delivered significantly earlier than the contractual schedule.
