A trio to build two new vessels


Project freight forwarder Deugro Danmark has inked a partnership with Siemens Gamesa and Amasus Offshore. This long-term charter agreement involves the construction of two vessels, “Rotra Futura” and “Rotra Horizon”, which will be delivered in 2025 and built in China.

 

The vessels will have a Wärtsilä diesel engine with a 15% lower consumption and carbon footprint compared to today’s standards and will be fitted with a stern ro-ro ramp, three Liebherr cranes and a unique gantry system.

 

For Christian Johansen, global commodity manager for ports & transportation in Siemens Gamesa’s offshore business unit, “we will be installing a significant number of wind turbines at sea globally, with increasingly larger and more complex components.”

 

Indeed, the aim of the cooperation is to reduce the overall carbon footprint. It will start with the design phase and conceptual development of the new vessels. (lh)
