Vessel Description

RM Baru is a product/chemical tanker operating under the Colombian flag, registered to Ecopetrol S.A., Colombia's national oil company. Built in 2008 at the Hyundai Mipo Dockyard in South Korea, the vessel is designed for the transportation of refined petroleum products and operates primarily along the Colombian coastline and broader Caribbean trading routes. The vessel supports Ecopetrol's downstream logistics operations, facilitating the movement of petroleum products between Colombian terminals and regional ports. Her dimensions and deadweight capacity classify her as a medium-range coastal tanker well suited for the shallow port infrastructure common throughout the Caribbean and South American Pacific coast.
