"Valentine is a name rooted in Latin that signifies "strong" or "healthy." It originates from the Latin term valens, translating to "strong and healthy," and is associated with the Latin names Valentinus and Valentinian. We chose the name Valentine for her, wishing for her strength and health throughout her service."

Valentine was the one of the first vessel to  retrofit SOx scrubber for chemical tanker. Instration took place in Sanwa Dock in Japan. Below youtube video follow the journey from factory to yard.


We allowed the public to view the scrubber retrofit work, so many maritime personnel came to see it.

By visiting the Velentine’s scrubber retrofit, they were able to see the progress and methods of the actual construction, and learned from various perspectives. It plays an important role in exchanging information and sharing best practices on new technologies.
