Heavylift carrier AAL Shipping is to take delivery of its sixth 32,000dwt Super B-Class vessel.

The methanol-ready and dual-fuel AAL Dammam was unveiled at a naming ceremony at the CSSC Huangpu Wenchong Shipyard in Guangzhou, China. She will be part of an eight-vessel newbuild fleet and will immediately enter service with her maiden voyage, transporting offshore renewable energy components from China to the UK.

She can accommodate over 100,000 freight tons of breakbulk and heavy lift cargo and is equipped with three 350-tonne cranes, combinable up to a 700t maximum.
