Ferus Smit launches Arklow Cape ship

Ferus Smit on Friday the 21st of October launched the M/V Arklow Cape (Nb. 425) at the Westerbroek yard. The shipbuilder says Arklow Cape is the second vessel in a series of 10 that will be delivered to our client from the city of Arklow, Ireland.

With a maximized hold volume of 220.000 cft and a carrying capacity over 5000 deadweight tons, it still falls under the 3000 gross tons limit. Arklow Cape has one single hold and an 1A iceclass notation. It is propelled by a 1740 kW MaK engine with a single ducted propeller.
