Shell Oil tankers built by Hong Kong & Whampoa Dockyard

HF: Twelve Shell Oil tankers were built by the Hong Kong & Whampoa Dockyard according to the detailed records maintained by the website Helderline linked below.

Anglo-Saxon Petroleum Company was responsible for the ships of Shell Transport and Trading from about 1898 to 1955 when Shell acquired the assets of ASPC essentially bringing its fleet of ships in-house.

The information below regarding the 12 ships, built in two distinct periods – the 1920s and post ASPC in the 1960s, comes from the website of Kees Helder who in the sixties sailed on the Shell ships Abida, Vitrea, Koratia and the Kosicia.
