The company said this is a significant advancement for them and evidence of their efforts to meet the fuel needs of the Maldives. Hawkes further stated that this oil tanker has increased their capacity to adequately supply fuel to their service recipients.
Additionally, Hawkes mentioned that this tanker would enhance the trust between customers and the company, and increase the company’s visibility in international markets.
