According to local reports, Bahri’s CEO, Ibrahim bin Abdul Rahman Al Omar, said that the registration of the company’s 37 VLCCs under Saudi Arabian flag was aimed at enhancing the Kingdom’s position in the IMO’s global ranking list and to increase the size and efficiency of the domestic fleet.
The tanker ‘Amjad’ was the last to join Bahri’s VLCC fleet. She was handed over to the company in February of this year and registered under the Saudi Arabian flag.
