Longship has received Longeden, the fourth and final diesel-electric general cargo vessel in its series built by Atlas Shipyard, according to the company's release.
This 8,500 dwt ship, delivered on July 17, 2025, marks the completion of Longship’s planned fleet modernisation and reinforces its focus on sustainable maritime operations.
The ship’s diesel-electric propulsion is projected to reduce bunker-fuel consumption by approximately 45% compared with conventionally powered vessels of comparable size.
The series began in June 2024 with delivery of Longera; subsequent vessels include Longeon (October 2024) and Longearth (February 2025). The order was placed in January 2023 for four vessels.
