The official noted that the tanker will be delivered to the Venezuelan company in three months, adding that preliminary tests on the tanker were carried out on July 23.

Zarbi stated that three more tankers are under construction at Sadra’s yard for delivery to Venezuela.
“In view of the good experience we’ve had with the first tanker, I hope the second tanker will be ready in the next 10 months,” he said.

Aframax ships are oil tankers smaller than 120,000 metric tons deadweight (DWT) with a breadth of above 32.31 meters.
Tehran and Caracas have signed an array of agreements, pledging to work together in the oil industry, building low-income housing and assembling tractors and bicycles as well as military projects among other ventures.
