This is practically not possible and the ship is loaded from not more than 3-4 points, but the import rate is higher and this gives so high production of the vessel.

The measurements of the chemical tanker are big and this ship is amazing. Stolt Nielsen is among the largest companies of the world, and chemical fleet of this company is really amazing.
