John T Essberger Group has ordered two 13,000-dwt chemical tankers, Ann-Mari Essberger and Nofretete Essberger, from a Chinese yard, financed by Hamburg Commercial Bank (HCOB) under a loan agreement of nearly 14 years. The vessels, scheduled for delivery in mid-2027, will operate in the North Sea and Baltic Sea, featuring engines capable of running on methanol and complying with IMO Tier III nitrogen oxide emissions standards.

Each tanker will have 18 stainless steel tanks with a total capacity of 15,000 m³. These tankers will join the E&S Tankers Pool, managed by John T Essberger Group, which has a fleet of 46 ships.
