Capital Ship Management Corp. has taken delivery of M/T Archigos, a 157,000-dwt Suezmax crude oil tanker built by HD Hyundai Samho Shipyard in South Korea, featuring methanol-ready provisions, AI-assisted navigation capabilities and energy-saving technologies.
The vessel is one of two sister ships scheduled for delivery in 2026 and is designed to support a future transition to alternative fuels in line with global decarbonisation goals, according to the company.
Equipped with an optimised hull, advanced propulsion systems and energy-saving devices, Archigos is designed to reduce fuel consumption and greenhouse gas emissions.
The tanker has been classed by Lloyd’s Register and complies with IACS Common Structural Rules. It also meets ballast water management requirements, carries an EU Inventory of Hazardous Materials (IHM+), and is fitted with a vapour emission control system (VECS).
In addition, the vessel features safety systems including an enhanced survey programme (ESP), a certified inert gas system (IGS), and compliance with SIRE 2.0/VIQ 7 requirements.
The tanker is also equipped with HiNAS, Hyundai’s AI-based navigation assistance system, which provides real-time collision-risk detection and augmented-reality bridge visualisation to support situational awareness and voyage performance.
