Scorpio Tankers Inc (STI), operates the Scorpio MidRange Pool, a spot market fleet of sixty some ships. STI has a total fleet of 113 tankers of all sizes and the parent company also operates cargo ships and bulk carriers for a total fleet size of some 250 ships. STI is incorporated in the Marshall Islands, but headquartered in Monaco and listed on the New York Stock exchange. Its chairman is Emanuele A. Lauro.
Number 67 on the STI fleet list is STI Maverick, which arrived this morning, February 17 from Amsterdam for Irving Oil. The 29,991 gt, 47,499 dwt ship was built as Marlin Maverick in 2019 by Hyundai-Vinashin Shipyard Co in Ninh Hoa, Vietnam and renamed in 2021. It is equipped with an exhaust gas scrubber system, with the washdown tower appended to the after side of the main funnel, which carries the stylized "s" and scorpion tail logo of the owners.
Today's drizzly conditions prevented a "whole hull" view of the ship from the Halifax side, but there was a good partial view from the former Mobil offshore supply base dock in Woodside, where it appears that some construction activity is about to take place. The dock has not been used since gas and oil activity ceased off Nova Scotia.
