Wagenborg orders 10 ice-class vessels at China's Dajin
Royal Wagenborg has ordered ten 7,400 dwt ice-class 1A multipurpose vessels at Dajin Heavy Industry, in a partnership with the UK's Carisbrooke Shipping.
Dutch shipping company Royal Wagenborg has ordered ten new multipurpose cargo vessels at China's Dajin Heavy Industry, as part of a fleet expansion in partnership with UK-based Carisbrooke Shipping. Each ship will have an ice-class 1A-reinforced hull and a deadweight of 7,400 tonnes.
Delivery of the first eight units is scheduled between the third quarter of 2027 and early 2029; if options are exercised, the final two will follow in mid-2029. Under the partnership, Carisbrooke will handle technical and crew management while Wagenborg provides commercial management and integrates the vessels into its chartering activities.
Wagenborg said the ships support a long-term fleet strategy of standardisation, efficiency and reliability, and will strengthen its position in the Baltic region.
