Furthermore, the Hitachi Zosen-developed multipurpose hull design is capable of carrying 260,000 metric tons at a draft of about 19 meters, a feature offered in consideration of the ships' assignment to japan as well as increased future allocations of VLCCs on routes to other countries of the Far East. These VLCCs will be built at the Ariake Works, one of the most advanced shipyards in the world. The Ariake Works has built a total of 34 VLCCs and ULCCs, including the first double-hull VLCC in Japan. This outstanding track record, combined with advanced shipbuilding technologies and hull designs that allow Hitachi Zosen-built vessels to be assigned to any route worldwide, was a determining factor in the decision by Golden Ocean Group to have their most recent VLCCs built by Hitachi Zosen.
