Godby Shipping has taken a significant leap by ordering two Stream RoRo 1700 vessels — with options for two more — at CIMC Raffles.

This is more than fleet renewal. It is a decisive move to scale capacity and strengthen environmental performance.

At a glance:

  • 125 m x 24 m
  • 1,700 lane metres
  • ~6,200 dwt
  • Three cargo decks + stern ramp

Developed with Technolog Services, the vessels will deliver 70–100% more cargo capacity than MIMER and MIDAS — with similar fuel consumption.

Efficiency and future readiness are central:

  • Advanced CFD optimisation
  • Shore power connection
  • Batteries for emission-free port stays
  • Prepared for waste heat recovery and methanol

Steel cutting starts in 2027. Deliveries are scheduled for 2028–2029.
