Jiangsu New Yangzijiang Shipbuilding has delivered a new 69,300dwt woodchip carrier to Shandong Asia Pacific SSYMB Pulp & Paper, a subsidiary of Singapore’s Asia Pacific Resources International Limited (APRIL), one of the world’s leading producers of fibre, pulp and fine paper. The new vessel, Batavia Express, which will be managed by Nova Shipping, is the first of six vessels APRIL ordered at New Yangzijiang Shipbuilding and it has been hailed as the largest woodchip carrier in the world. “The delivery of the vessel will greatly enhance the company capacity of importing raw materials, and it will also promote Rizhao port in Shandong to become the largest woodchip transport port in China,” said Sukanto Tanoto, Chairman of RGE, the parent company of APRIL and Nova Shipping.
