To date, SWS has delivered nearly 60 Aframax product tankers and, this year, the company plans to deliver more than 20 vessels, including large LNG dual-fuel vehicle carriers and additional Aframax tankers. SWS is also set to begin construction on its sixth 2.3-million-barrel Floating Production Storage and Offloading unit and a 158,000 DWT Suezmax oil tanker.
Significant progress is also expected to be made on the second domestically-built large cruise ship, Adora Flower City, in the coming year.
