What is a Specialized Tanker?
A specialized tanker is a ship equipped with dedicated tank structures designed to transport special cargo such as liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), sulfuric acid, asphalt, and other specialized materials.
Examples of Specialized Tankers
LPG Tanker: Vessels that transport liquefied petroleum gas.
LAG Tanker: Vessels that transport liquefied ammonia gas.
Corrosion-Resistant Tanker: Ships designed for transporting sulfuric acid, with features to prevent tank corrosion.
High-Temperature Liquid Tanker: Ships equipped with heating systems to maintain asphalt at temperatures above 100 degrees Celsius.
Aono Marine’s specialized tankers operate under advanced management based on international standards, committed to safe navigation and environmental protection.
Expanding Our Horizons to the World’s Oceans
Building on over 130 years of experience and trust in maritime transportation since our founding, we continue to challenge ourselves to meet the increasing global demand for shipping. In our international shipping division, we primarily own and operate state-of-the-art chemical tankers and small to medium-sized bulk carriers. These vessels are held and operated under medium- to long-term charter contracts with leading domestic and international shipping companies, as well as major global resource and grain corporations. By continuously ordering new ships to expand and modernize our fleet, we aim to enhance business stability and our presence in the market, becoming the best choice for our customers. We will continue to flexibly respond to changing times and to meet diverse vessel needs around the world.
