Description

RED DRAGON GAS TANKER SHIP

FULLY BUILT AND READY TO DISPLAY, HIGH QUALITY SHIP MODEL

  • Dimension Approx.: 34.25L x 4.75W x 12.5H
  • The model is already built, NOT a model ship kit

Launched in 1991 from the Shin Kurushima shipyard in Tokyo, the vessel now known as Red Dragon began life as a compact but capable LPG carrier built for the growing global trade in liquefied petroleum gas. At 132 meters in length and just over 6,300 gross tons, she was engineered for efficiency, reliability, and steady service on regional and international gas routes.

Her propulsion came from a Mitsubishi 6UEC37LA engine producing 2,348 kW — a workhorse powerplant well suited to the demands of coastal and mid‑range LPG transport. With a deadweight of 5,140 DWT, the ship was designed to carry liquefied gases in insulated, pressure‑controlled tanks, maintaining cargo at cryogenic temperatures and ensuring safe delivery to terminals across Asia and beyond.

Over the decades, the vessel passed through a series of identities that reflect the shifting landscape of gas‑tanker ownership. She first appeared in registries as Red DP, later sailing under names such as G.Venture, Gaz Venture, Wetherby, and Gas Chios. Each renaming marked a new chapter — new operators, new routes, and new commercial roles — but the ship’s core purpose remained unchanged: moving vital energy cargoes across the world’s shipping lanes.

Her most recent transformation came under Vietnamese ownership, when she was renamed Red Dragon and registered under the Panama flag. Today she operates under Dinh Giang Shipping and is managed by Nhat Viet Transportation, continuing her long service life in the LPG trade. Despite her age, she remains active — a testament to the durability of Japanese shipbuilding and the enduring demand for mid‑sized gas carriers.

More than three decades after her launch, the Red Dragon stands as a representative of a generation of practical, hardworking LPG tankers. She may not be a headline‑maker, but her steady presence in the energy supply chain underscores the quiet importance of vessels that keep global commerce moving, one refrigerated cargo at a time.

Elevate your collection with an exquisite display or RC‑compatible model, handcrafted with uncompromising precision by SavyBoat master artisans.   Built with traditional plank‑on‑frame construction, each model is built entirely from scratch using historical photographs, archival drawings, and original ship, yacht, or boat plans, ensuring a level of authenticity and craftsmanship worthy of the world’s finest collectors.

 

This same dedication to excellence extends beyond our models and into every SavyBoat product we sell—from apparel to accessories to home décor. Whether it’s a handcrafted model or a piece from our lifestyle collection, every item is designed with the same maritime heritage, premium materials, and timeless maritime style that define the SavyBoat name.

 

UNMATCHED AUTHENTICITY IN EVERY MODEL

 --- The finest woods throughout the model, such as Ebony, Rosewood, Blackwood, Mahogany, and Teak
 --- High‑quality fittings, trimmings, steering wheels, and propellers made of sculpted or cast metals
 --- Pre‑installed LED lighting on illuminated models (power supply not included) 
 --- Open die‑cut side hull windows—never painted, like found on other companies’ models 
 --- Precision true open die‑cut windows, doors, and portholes throughout ship superstructures
 --- Detailed lifeboats hung from launching davits

 --- Delicate railings on the forecastle, aft castle, and upper decks

 --- Complete rigging and stay‑lines on all masts and smokestacks
 --- Detailed interiors, complete with a realistic steering wheel, switches, and gauges

 --  High‑gloss finishes with multi‑layered, micro‑sanded surfaces
 --- A specially developed multi‑layered paint system replicating the vessel’s true colors with remarkable depth

 --- RC‑compatible construction with epoxy‑lined hulls, pre-installed propeller shafts, and rubber assemblies.  ----  Due to the many ways our customers power their RC models, our models do not come with propellers. 

--- Hatches open for easy RC equipment installation (motor and electronics not included).

Please note, as each model is hand built, slight detail and color variations may exist between each model.
