BEIJING, June 17 -- A 7,500-tonne oil tanker for transporting liquid chemicals, the first super clean vessel for such a purpose ever built in China, has been delivered to the ship-owner in the Netherlands.

Built by Jiangsu Ganghua Shipyard Co. Ltd. in Taixing in eastern China's Jiangsu Province, the oil tanker, 112 meters long and 17.6 meters wide, can simultaneously hold 20 different liquid chemicals.

The vessel has passed a test by Bureau Veritas in France. The Chinese company will build seven more such vessels for European and American clients.
