Just a few more weeks and two brand new RMG cranes will help C.RO Ports Rotterdam to quadruple the rail handling capacity of the terminal.
C.RO Ports Rotterdam has a rail/ro-ro connection with five tracks, counting 750 meters each.
The investment for the cranes was done to answer the increasing demand in multimodal transport.
Since the middle of May 2019, the Japanese built roro AYSHE of Kostas Agapitos is laid up at the Perama repair zone.
In 2014 she was chartered to the Turkish ECOL for the Turkey – France (Sète) run, a route that was fit exactly to her characteristics and potentials.
However, her charter expired last May and the large roro was laid up in Greece. Since then she was put up for sale but without success so far, which means that a great ship may end up to the scrapyard.
Damen is building two LNG-Hybrid RoRo vessels for Seaspan Ferries at Damen Shipyards Mangalia.
These two innovative 149m vessels will join Seaspan’s fleet with 1,034 lane metres and have 209m3 LNG storage onboard and 2 megawatt hours of battery capacity.
They will go into service for Seaspan Ferries as part of the company’s fleet replacement program and work alongside the SEASPAN SWIFT and SEASPAN RELIANT.
The vessels will be classed by Bureau Veritas and will go into operation in 2021 with construction starting in 2019.
