What types of cargo will we carry?
In addition to traditional cargoes including steel coils, specialty steels, etc we are focused on cargoes that are new to the Seaway. Cargoes such as containers, break-bulk commodities and many other types of mixed cargoes which can be efficiently carried by our vessels.
What type of ship offers this reliability and flexibility?
In our fleet, we operate proven Dutch newly built Jumbo 6500 ice class vessels. These types of vessels have successfully plied the feeder routes of Western Europe for years. The design has evolved over the past years to become the most efficient ship in her class, both environmentally and operationally. We also have vessels capable of providing maximum cargo handling capability by having roll-on roll-off flexibility in addition to their own heavy lift cranes and hydraulic hatches.
