HISTORY:
Consolidated Marine Management (CMM) on Oct. 30, 2012 took delivery of 'King Gregory', first of two fuel-efficient medium-size tankers from Hyundai Mipo. The 52,000 dwt tanker was the first of two medium-range (MR), IMO II & III-class oil/chemical tankers contracted by Latsis Group's Consolidated Marine Management.
Classed by Lloyd’s Register, the oil-and-chemical carrier has latest environmental and efficiency features.

KING GREGORY is equipped with an electronic main engine, a larger diameter propeller, mewis duct and ship-performance monitoring that transmits to the office daily data on the trim of the ship, fuel oil consumption and CO2 emissions, among other data points.
It is estimated that the ship’s daily fuel consumption in the ballast condition with a speed of 12.5 knots will be no more than 17.5 metric tons, whereas the consumption in laden condition at a speed of 13 knots will be less than 19.5 metric tons.

The owners also specified an Ocean Saver ballast water treatment system, making King Gregory the first MR type tanker with deep-well cargo pumps to have a ballast water treatment system on board.

KING GREGORY complies with Exxon Mobil 2010 mandatory requirements including those for ship-to-ship transfer of oil at sea, vapour emission control systems, certified cranes for personnel transportation and oily-water separators certified for 5 ppm.
