Core Advantages

1. Proven dual-fuel / future-fuel-ready platform for decarbonisation compliance The LNG dual-fuel variant delivers substantial reduction of CO₂, SOₓ and NOₓ emissions, fully satisfying EEXI, CII and EEDI Phase 3 requirements. Methanol-ready / ammonia-ready set-ups protect asset value against upcoming emission rules and EU-ETS carbon-tax risks. This series has accumulated thousands of sea-hours operating for well-known European ship-owners.
2. Balanced size for flexible inter-regional operation Medium deadweight optimises the trade-off between cargo volume and port accessibility. Suitable for medium-sized terminals across Europe, Mediterranean and Asia-Pacific, covering both intra-EU short-sea and cross-regional near-ocean voyages. Available in stainless-steel or coated-tank versions to match different cargo portfolios and CAPEX budgets.
3. High-flexibility multi-segregated cargo arrangement Large number of independent cargo segregations enable simultaneous carriage of different IMO II / III liquid parcels, bio-oils and chemical feed-stocks. Maximises commercial utilisation rate for modern chemical-trading business patterns. Tank-heating system, inert-gas and full IBC-Code compliance are configurable.
4. Mature serial-production with repeat-owner track-record Multiple series have been continuously serial-built for top European chemical tanker operators. Stable construction process, well-managed supply-chain and sea-trial routines. Shipyard holds ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO 45001 and major classification-society factory approvals.
5. Rich customisation scope for owner-specific trading profiles Ice-Class 1A, one-man bridge standard, shaft-generator, battery-hybrid system, shore-power connection and different cargo-tank material options can be selected. Supports DNV, BV, ABS, LR for worldwide flag-state registration.
6. Competitive total-cost-of-ownership & global after-sales support Delivers international-class build quality at competitive new-build investment versus European / Far-East alternatives. Local warranty representatives stationed in Europe for fast-response technical consultation, site-survey and repair co-ordination. Global spare-parts supply is supported.

Lead-time Note

All vessels are built-to-order, no stock hulls available. The production facility carries a substantial order-book. Actual delivery slots depend on contract-signing timing and project scope. Exact feasible delivery window must be confirmed prior to formal commercial negotiation.
