Royal Bodewes builds three low-fuel-consumption self-unloaders for cement

Major shipbuilder Royal Bodewes builds vessels in the 1,500–12,500dwt range. As well as dry cargo vessels, tankers and customized ships, it also manufactures ‘special’ vessels including hybrids, offshore

vessels, ro/ro and lo/ro and cement carriers.

 

The company is currently building three self-discharging cement carriers at two locations in Holland. The pictures show the first of these carriers.

 

 

 

The capacity of all three vessels will be 4.200dwt, and a major incentive is low fuel consumption during sea voyages.

 

The plan is to deliver all three ships this year.
