As disclosed, the keels for the six vessels were laid on October 9 at the compatriot Royal Niestern Sander shipyard in Delfzijl. Once completed, the inaugural unit of the EasyMax 2.0 series is anticipated to be handed over in early 2027.
According to the Dutch maritime transport player, each of the ships was engineered to cut carbon dioxide (CO2) levels and minimize fuel consumption at a ‘great’ level. Their concept builds on the company’s EasyMax multipurpose vessels, the design of which was initially revealed back in 2017. The EasyMax 2.0 idea was unveiled in May this year.
The new sextet will reportedly be fitted with ‘advanced’ energy-saving technological solutions
