Salman Zarbi, Managing Director of the Iranian Marine Industrial Company (SADRA), said that the first of four oil tankers being built by Iran for the Venezuelan state oil company entered the waters of the Persian Gulf on July 24. The Aframax-category tanker, capable of carrying 113,000 tons of oil (75,000 barrels) was built by Iranian Marine Industrial Company (SADRA). The oil tanker, which was ordered by Venezuela’s state oil company (PDVSA), will be delivered by late September. Zarabi added that the production of “the Aframax ship is Iran’s first export shipbuilding activity, and we must continue by attracting more customers.”
