2007, Quintana had five sets of sister ships, including the vessels
recently acquired from Metrobulk. All seventeen ships that are part of the
Metrobulk acquisition are sister ships. Sister ships indicate vessels of
the same class made in the same shipyard. The sister-ship concept further
enhances our operational flexibility and efficiency.
