Klaveness takes delivery of combination carrier from Zheiang Oahua Shipbuilding
Today the third CABU combination carrier ordered from Zheiang Oahua Shipbuilding Co. Ltd in 2013/2014 was delivered. The vessel is the sister vessel of MV Balboa and MV Baffin both of which were delivered in 2016, the company said in its press release.
This second-generation combination carrier is both larger and more efficient than previous generations, as well as more environmentally friendly. The vessel has been designed with a water ballast treatment system, improved software for performance monitoring and trim optimization as well as fuel saving electrical motors and auxiliary engines.
With this new generation of combination carriers, Klaveness will considerably expand its combination carrier business venturing into new cargoes, new line trades and servicing new customers.
