Finland’s marine engineering player Deltamarin has secured multiple approvals in principle (AiPs) from DNV and Lloyd’s Register (LR) for its next-generation vessel designs that come with a range of innovative concepts, including hybrid and wind-assisted propulsion solutions, enhanced safety redundancy on small chemical tankers, large-scale clean-fuel logistics, high-efficiency ethane transport, and methanol-ready capabilities for major vessel types.
The five approved design concepts encompass a 20,000-cubic meter (cbm) liquefied natural gas (LNG) bunkering vessel, a hybrid and wind-assisted 9,500 cbm liquefied ethylene carrier, a 6,200 deadweight tonnage (DWT) duplex stainless steel chemical tanker, a 103,000 cbm very large ethane carrier, and an 8,000 TEU methanol-ready container vessel.
