Vessel Description

The Fairchem Protea is a medium-range (MR) chemical and oil products tanker built in 2019 at Hyundai Mipo Dockyard in South Korea. Registered under the Marshall Islands flag and operating under the Fairchem Shipping banner — a joint venture associated with the Stolt-Nielsen group — the vessel is purpose-built for the carriage of specialty chemicals, vegetable oils, and clean petroleum products.

With a deadweight of approximately 49,999 DWT, the vessel falls within the standard MR2 tanker category, making it well-suited for flexible deployment across global trade routes. The ship is equipped with stainless steel and coated cargo tanks to handle a diverse range of chemical and liquid bulk cargoes, meeting stringent industry and IMO standards for chemical tanker operations.

The vessel name follows the Fairchem fleet naming convention, which often references botanical or natural terms. As part of a modern, post-2015 newbuilding generation, the Fairchem Protea incorporates contemporary fuel efficiency measures and environmental compliance systems consistent with MARPOL regulations.
