What is this? After half an hour of buzzling around the Beşiktaş fish market and inspecting the Turbots’ gill and eye color for indication of freshness, we had concluded the deal for the purchase of 8 kg of fish to satisfy the hunger of twelve people that had worked hard that day to get the Atlantis Augusta registered with the Maltese Flag and to send her on her maiden voyage. After the fish was certified by Koray in situ it was cleaned, sliced, and sent to the restaurant of Turgut Vidinli, who only Fenerbahçe fans will not have heard of...

Not much difference to report from the take-over of the Lydian Trader compared to the Ionian Trader. Our operator Armona showed muscles by accepting delivery of two vessels within 24 hours. Headed by our senior fleet manager Capt. Gökhan Pehlivan we have taken delivery of the Lydian Trader from Greek owners Enterprise Shipping in Algeciras. Also this delivery took place smoothly in the morning of Saturday Feb 18th and crews were exchanged in the evening. During weekend husbandry and familiarization were instated, and on Monday the vessel went on drift due to the heavy weather conditions that made it impossible to remain at the berth without damage to the ship. We changed class and flag, painted the new name Atlantis Araceli to the sides until Friday and departed to go on her “maiden” voyage in the evening to load 5000mts of gasoil in Mohammedia to discharge in Nador.
The nomination of ship names at Atlantis Tankers derives from locations of interest our owners have experienced. The ship was given the name of the Philippine port of Araceli, a tribute to our Filipino crew members to give them a taste of home.
The Araceli was built in 2008 at Celik Tekne in Istanbul for account of a Norwegian-Turkish joint venture and is equipped with high standard European products such as MAN Augsburg propulsion system and Framo cargo pumping system. She is also a sister vessel to the Atlantis Arki.
The deal is supported by a finance with no equity portion and the favourable purchase price signals push to replenish the groups reserves. Improving growth aspects as this is part of an effort to move down the cost curve towards more preferred assets, there is renewed concern about a supply glut that already sent ripples through the shipping markets since mid 2016.

Atlantis Araceli Takeover at Algeciras

With a breeze of spring leaping out of this year’s harsh winter doors, our team headed by technical manager Aydin Yilmaz and Operations/Training Manager Capt. Ömer Balta have taken delivery of the Ionian Trader from Greek owners Enterprise Shipping in Piraeus. The delivery took place smoothly in the afternoon of Friday Feb 17th and crews were exchanged in the evening. The highly professional delivery and acceptance procedure was related to an excellent road map the Greek owners had developed which was followed up by both parties. During the weekend husbandry, familiarization was instated and on Monday we changed class and flag, painted the new name Atlantis Arki to sides and could go on her “maiden” voyage in the evening to load 4300mts of vegoil in Novorossiysk to discharge in Bejaia.
The nomination of ship names at Atlantis Tankers derives from locations of interest our owners have experienced. Arki is a wonderful little island in the northern Dodecanese near Lipso & Patmos close to the Turkish coast line.
It was the first time that Atlantis Tankers had deviated from its policy of providing their fleet only with new built vessels. There are too many substandard vessels on the market especially since 2000 onwards where European yards have lost competiveness and yards in far east became the dominant supplier. The Arki was built in 2008 at Celik Tekne in Istanbul for account of a Norwegian-Turkish joint venture and is equipped with high standard European products such as MAN Augsburg propulsion system and Framo cargo pumping system.
The deal is supported by a finance with no equity portion and the favourable purchase price signals push to replenish the groups reserves and improve growth aspects, as this is part of an effort to move down the cost curve towards more advantaged assets as there is renewed concern about a supply glut that sent ripples through the shipping markets since mid of last year.

Our Deputy CEO Marlon Weinstabl made an unannounced Senior Management Visit to the Atlantis Armona, the oldest vessel of our fleet.
Mr. Weinstabl completed his first Senior Management Visit in 2017 by visiting the Atlantis Armona. The vessel was berthed at 12:30 GMT at Ponte 22 at the Chemical Terminal of Aveiro in Portugal. In the course of 6 hours Mr Weinstabl had the chance to meet with all crew members, tour the whole vessel, and discuss updates to company policies, introduce the most recent Health Campaign on having a healthy diet, Shell’s Resilience Modules, LFI’s such as ‘Chronic Unease’ and ‘Mind Games’ were discussed with crew members, KPI’s, Best Practices, Near-Misses, information on the new vessels joining the fleet, crew remarks and suggestions for improvements were also exchanged and noted.
These visits are among the most inspiring events in the daily life of our top management. Discussions always reveal new aspects; especially when crew members share their experience with us. We feel that we are on the right track to strive on our common journey to create the safest working places.

Istanbul showed its best side after weeks of continuous heavy rain and snowfall.
On January 23rd the launching of our 9th new building, the Atlantis Augusta took place. The construction was as smooth and as precise as never before at Selay Shipyard.
We would like to extend our gratitude to Selay Shipyard and their contractors who put in a huge amount of effort to make this moment happen.
Furthermore we would like to thank our subcontractors like class Bureau Veritas, designers Delta Marine, Akzo Nobel and MarineLine, and last but not least Armona’s experienced construction and office team - who build ships with sheer enthusiasm and passion.
Well done again, and we look forward to launching the Atlantis Alicante very soon!

The 6240 dwt MT Rekon built 2013 at Selay Shipyard will join Atlantis Tankers’ fleet. The vessel is owned by two partners: German national Seyfullah Inan and Turkish national Metin Çağdaş and is their company’s only ship. They have agreed to give their chemical tanker into our full management services, including the management of their investments and company.
Before joining Atlantis, MT Rekon was under bareboat charter for 3 years with Navoil in Singapore, which went into liquidation in November 2016.
“The vessel fits perfectly into the Atlantis Tankers fleet portfolio” Lorenz Weinstabl stated during an internal meeting for the coordination of works to be done, signing the contract on the 20.01.2017.
The MarineLine coated tanker is making its way back from the Far East to the Mediterranean. After inspection and repairs, the Maltese flagged vessel will begin trading.
(Pictured: Metin Çağdaş and Lorenz Weinstabl rang the company’s ship bell twice after inking the deal)

It will neither be quick nor will it be easy, however as “Maritime Partners in Safety” at SHELL we from the Atlantis Tankers’ management arm ARMONA are at dawn of a new era.
After a year that confounded the expectations of the gloomiest professional optimists, and despite the glib forecasts of a brighter future for our shipping business, we have mastered to conquer a sequence of milestones many would have believed were out of reach.
However, the current story is one of two grandeur days that our CEO experienced [pictured with Dave Bourbon, Shell’s conference facililator] at the 2017 Partners in Safety Maritime CEO Conference in London on January 12 and 13, 2017, with the ultimate goal of a creating and maintaining a Zero Incident Industry. Thanks to intense efforts and investments by SHELL, all Maritime Partners have identified three clear actions: Leadership Visits to our vessels, Reflective Learning training sessions on board and ashore as well as roll-out of the Learning Engagement Tool. Fundamental is the Care for People approach, expressed in Resilience modules which all of you will be introduced to. These tools allow us to transmit the message to all our ships and shore members. Our mission is to look into the eyes of the fathers and mothers, the spouse and children of our seafarers and proudly say that their beloved son or daughter, father or mother, husband or wife is working in the safest place in the world. To achieve this, the Conference Members identified three key success factors:
- Visible & inspirational leadership by the top manager
- Passionate & engaged facilitator(s)
- Relevant material
Well done to SHELL and the drivers of the Focus Group!
