Finnish Deltamarin has partnered with ESL Shipping to develop methanol-fuelled multi-purpose vessels, designed to meet diverse logistical needs across global shipping routes. The contract covers the complete basic and detail design of four vessels, with several optional vessels.
The vessels are optimised for key trade routes in the Baltic Sea and transatlantic crossings, with the flexibility to operate on large lakes in the United States and Canada, Deltamarin said in a statement. They are designed for exceptional adaptability, capable of transporting practically any type of cargo, including containers, bulk materials, project cargo, timber, and paper products, the company added.
Their design incorporates an accommodation block at the bow, allowing long project cargo to extend over the stern, further highlighting the vessel’s adaptability. By integrating tweendecks to maximise capacity, the vessels can transport a variety of mixed cargo when needed. The vessels are set to respond to evolving logistical demands while ensuring operational efficiency, with the capability to operate on alternative fuels.
