Bison Class Shallow Draught Tanker

The 'Bison' class vessel is a small shallow draught tanker, that punches above its class in terms of cost, payload efficiency and speed. At just 36.5m in length, it is able to comfortable carry 133k liquids at a speed of 24kts. The vessel also offers a small crew cabin, and a highly optimized bridge which offers excellent visibility.
