The 46,000 dwt vessel was floated off of its blocks and was transferred by tug from the building dock to the outfitting dock, where it will remain for the next few weeks as it undergoes continuous testing and commissioning in preparation for its upcoming sea trials.
When completed, the 138 m long vessel, to be named the "Overseas Martinez", will be sold to American Shipping Company and bareboat chartered to OSG America for use transporting petroleum products.
The yard currently has three additional product tankers under construction as part of its historical build program.
