Libya’s General National Maritime Transport Company (GNMTC) announced last month the purchase of two newly minted oil tankers for the modernization of the country’s oil sector.

Both tankers carry the same high-end qualities of 14.5 knots in speed, the ability to carry 1.14 million tons of crude oil with a length of 249 meters and a width of 44 meters.

The oil tankers arrived in Libya in late February this year and officially joined the fleet for service for the first time.
