Capricorn Voyager in Chevron's Ad


if you have been watching the new "Untapped Energy" advertisement from Chevron, the people that brought us Energyville, and thought that you would like more information on the vessel appearing in the ad - the Capricorn Voyager - then you have come to the right place.

The Chevron ad touts that its employees are "citizens of the world" and it appears that the Capricorn Voyager is similarily global. From a quick search it does appear that this is a Chevron oil tanker. It was made by Samsung, presumably in South Korea. It is flagged in Bahamas. The owner of the vessel is Clio Marine Inc., which according to Equasis is a Japanese company but according to the American Bureau of Shipping in May 2007 is Liberian.

The Capricorn Voyager is a fairly large but not enormous oil tanker. It clocks in at 58,442 gross tons. Overall, it seems to be a pretty normal and recently built oil tanker.
