Rudolf A. Oetker receives product tanker Rudolf A. Oetker KG (RAO), a member of Germany’s Hamburg Sud Group, on Friday took over under long-term charter of the newly built 51,300-deadweight-ton product tanker “St. Marien” from its Hong Kong-based owners Parakou Shipping.
   The ship was named in January together with sister ship “St. Johannis,” also chartered by RAO, after delivery from the South Korean shipyard STX Shipbuilding.
   Both tankers have a length of 183 meters (600.4 feet), are 32.2 meters wide (105.6 feet) and are capable of transporting up to six different products in their coated cargo tanks, from crude oil and heating oil to aviation fuel and cooking oil.
