Mideast Ship Management Ltd News

The environmental sustainability and reduced operating costs of Wärtsilä's integrated propulsion solution were major factors in the winning of these orders. Wärtsilä has been awarded the contract to supply the engines and propulsion equipment for six new Ro-Ro container vessels being built for NSCSA, the National Shipping Company of Saudi Arabia. The ships are being built at the MIPO shipyard in South Korea, and when launched will be operated by Mideast Ship Management Ltd, a subsidiary company of NSCSA.

The National Shipping Corporation of Saudi Arabia (NSCSA) has licensed Veson Nautical’s complete Integrated Maritime Operations System (IMOS). IMOS will manage NSCSA’s chartering and operational activities for its growing fleet of tankers and very large crude carriers (VLCCs) operating world wide in the global tanker markets. NSCSA owns and operates nine double hulled VLCCs, each with an individual capacity of 2.1 million barrels and deadweight of more than 300,000 tons technically managed by its wholly owned subsidiary, Mideast Ship Management Ltd. (MSML), Dubai. These ships will be accessing IMOS remotely to track daily voyage operation activities and actual voyage costs.
