Launched in 2024, these third-generation heavy-lifters have already proven to be some of the most competent MPVs in the water – breaking cargo handling records. They can accommodate over 150,000 FRT of cargo, with three 350 mt heavy lift cranes – combinable up to 700 mt max (increased to 800 mt on some of the fleet vessels).
Two large box-shaped cargo holds are optimised for drybulk, featuring adjustable pontoon triple decks and no centre line bulkhead.
