Outokumpu has won a contract to supply tailor-made advanced materials for
chemical tankers. Outokumpu will supply 12 250 tonnes of duplex 2205(R) stainless
steel to a Chinese shipyard for five chemical tankers ordered by Stolt Tankers.
Stolt Tankers operates one of the world's largest and most sophisticated fleet
of chemicals tankers. The contract also includes an option for additional three
vessels. 

Once completed, these tankers will be used to transport various liquid
chemicals throughout the world. The use of duplex grade in cargo tanks enables
reduced weight, excellent corrosion resistance and high strength, all necessary
in transporting chemicals in a safe and efficient way. 

Outokumpu will supply large-sized plates in tailor-made dimensions. The
delivery also includes further added value services such as edge preparation,
forming and welding to larger assembly sections. 

'Together with Outokumpu's technical support and training program for the
customer, this contract forms a unique scope of supply within the stainless
steel industry. It gives the customer an optimal solution to reduce lead times
as well as guarantee the quality with a single point of contact. Our extensive
experience and quality reputation with the shipping industry were decisive
factors for us to win this deal,' says Leif RosÃ(c)n, Senior Vice President,
Special Plate. 

The deliveries will start in early 2014 and continue throughout 2015.
