dship Carriers has added three F300-type multipurpose vessels to its roster, boosting its fleet to 23 ships.
Lars Feller, president at dship Carriers, said that the 13,000 dwt ships, fitted with two 150-tonne capacity cranes, are a complementary fit to the company’s fleet profile. One has already been delivered and the others will enter service in the third or fourth quarter of this year.
The additional vessels are joining dship’s fleet at a time when capacity is at a premium. They also benefit from having ice-class certification, which Feller noted means they can be deployed on Baltic trade lanes.
dship has steadily grown its fleet in recent years, adding the general cargo vessels Eemslift Dafne and Eemslift Nadine during September last year and completing its newbuilding programme during February 2022 with the arrival of the newbuild F500-type vessel Charlie.
The newbuilding programme was initiated back in 2018 and comprised sisterships Mick, Keith and Ronnie.
