We are very proud to announce the Naming Ceremony and Blessing of our S-MAX DP class 2 Shuttle Tankers H.N. 2654 - M/T ATHENS 04 and H.N. 2655 - M/T PARIS 24 at 10:00 Local Korean Time on April 25th, 2025.

Built at Samsung Heavy Industries Co. Ltd., these vessels feature state-of-the-art design and technical specifications. They will sail under the Maltese flag and are classed under DNV. Both vessels are chartered to a Major Energy Group under a long-term Charter Party. Their names pay tribute to the Olympic spirit and reflect the core values of teamwork, excellence and enduring commitment – principles deeply embedded in our Group's identity.

These vessels mark the latest additions to the TEN fleet, which will be joined over the next two years by 10 more next-generation shuttle tankers—a clear reflection of the Tsakos Group’s commitment to fleet renewal and environmental excellence. This milestone further reinforces TEN’s standing as a global leader in the shuttle tanker sector, expanding the fleet to 16 vessels and enhancing our ability to deliver tailored, technologically advanced vessels designed to support the complex logistics of next-generation energy projects in partnership with premier energy clients. In total, the Tsakos Group currently has 19 tanker vessels under construction.

We extend our heartfelt thanks to the vessel sponsors and sincere congratulations to all teams whose hard work, dedication and expertise were instrumental in the successful completion of this project.

To the Master, Chief Engineer, Officers and Crew of M/T Athens 04, we extend our warmest Congratulations and wholehearted wishes for Smooth and Prosperous journeys and Calm Seas.
