Sustainability isn’t just a practice - it’s our promise to the planet.

The largest crude oil tanker ever built, the ‘ST MONT’ (formerly known as the ‘Jahre Viking’ & ‘Knock Nevis’), with a light deadweight tonnage (LDT) of 83,598 metric tons, was successfully recycled at our state-of-the-art green ship recycling yard. This process was carried out with a strong commitment to environmental sustainability & safety standards.
