Additionally, the vessels are equipped with the latest two-stroke main engines, significantly reducing fuel consumption and lowering transportation costs. All configurations on board are optimized to serve trade between Northern Europe, Ireland, and the UK. The first vessel is expected to be delivered by the end of 2017.
Since the contract was signed and became effective, this batch of ships has received widespread attention both within and outside the industry.
