STENA ALEXITA

STENA-TEEKAY, Shuttle Tanker, 76,847 gt, 127,466 dwt, built 1998

Teekay was honored by ExxonMobil for providing continuous shuttle tanker service to its Floating Production Storage and offloading units (FPSO's) in the North Sea, despite severe winter weather conditions that caused many other production facilities to shut down. (2006)
Through the worst of the winter storms, Stena Alexita and Stena Sirita, two of Teekay's most advanced shuttle tankers which are jointly owned with Stena and managed by Teekay, were able to service ExxonMobil-operated FPSOs on the Balder and Jotun fields.
"Without a shuttle service that is able to connect to their FPSOs in almost any weather, ExxonMobil would have to wait for an opportunity to load that might have been days or weeks away.  Exxon has limited storage capacity in the Balder and Jotun fields and would have had to shut down production without a regular shuttle connection".
Teekay has the most sophisticated shuttle tankers in the North Sea, equipped with dynamic positioning systems. "Our computer-based, satellite navigation systems coordinate the bow and stern thrusters as well as the CPP propellers, thereby enabling the vessel to stay on location in waves up to 9 meters," Mr. Feilberg explained.

STENA ARCTICA

STENA BULK, 2005, 65,239 gt, 113,600 dwt.

With its 117,100 deadweight tons, the vessel is not only the largest Swedish flagged ship in the Swedish merchant navy but also the world's largest tanker with the highest class in service. Its hull is heavily reinforced and its propulsion system is considerably more powerful compared with normal tankers, thus enabling it to safely manoeuvre in the icy waters of the Baltic Sea. The Stena Arctica, together with additional ice-strengthened units and in cooperation with Sovcomflot – the largest shipping company in Russia – will mainly transport Russian crude oil from the Gulf of Finland to the Continent.  (Naming ceremony January 28th, 2006 - Press Release)

TEMPERA

Aframax tanker, Fortum Oil & Gas, 64,259 gt, 106,034 dwt, built 2002

The Society of Naval Architects of Japan awarded its 'Ship of the Year 2002' accolade to Tempera, built by Sumitomo Heavy Industries (SHI), owned by Fortum Oil & Gas of Finland and classed by Lloyd's Register.

Tempera was at launch,  the largest tanker in the world to be built to Lloyd's Register's 1A Super Ice Class notation. It wa also the world's first double-acting tanker (DAT), which means that it can proceed through light ice conditions ahead and through heavy ice conditions astern, due to its azipod propulsion configuration, specially designed aft end and ability to turn through 180^o.
