More capacity for a tight market
Hamburg-headquartered Dships has taken delivery of the last out of four newbuilds. The F-500 "MV Charlie" follows the multipurpose heavy lift vessels “MV Mick”, “MV Keith” and “MV Ronnie” as part of the fleet expansion programme initiated back in 2018.
In the multi-purpose heavy lift market cargo slots are currently rare and the market is tight. The latest newbuild is equipped with two Liebherr cranes, featuring a lifting capacity of 250 t each, and has a deadweight of 12,385 MT.
The company "is committed to helping achieve the goals of the Paris Agreement” said Lars Feller, global vice president, Dship Carriers. The F-500 vessel type belongs to the new generation of economic multi-purpose ships that have been specially developed to reduce fuel consumption and increase stowage flexibility. (sh)
