Complete newbuild vessels, built by Handelskade.
These past 2 years we delivered three vessels and have five more under construction, eight complete newbuilds in total, with 10+ more already in the pipeline. From multi purpose vessels to an inland container vessel, each one custom built to the standard our clients count on.
First deliveries in 2025, next hulls running through 2028, and we are only getting started.
Launching DQS01
The first of four vessels is afloat. DQS01 has been launched at PVSM Shipyard, Vietnam, a proud milestone for the entire team.
With the hull now afloat, outfitting has started on this beautifully designed vessel.
For now, she stays wrapped under her covers, ready to impress at the final stage.
One launched, three to follow.
While the maritime industry is accelerating towards lower emissions and higher efficiency, a large part of the smaller tanker fleet is ageing rapidly. Many vessels currently operating in this segment were designed long before today’s energy transition and upcoming environmental regulations.
We are proud to announce that we have signed a contract for the construction of the Mareva Nui II, a multi-purpose vessel that will serve the waters of French Polynesia.
The vessel will be built by Handelskade at Hong Ha Shipyard in Hai Phong, Vietnam. A yard we know well, having built 12 turn-key vessels together over the past fifteen years.
It was great to reconnect with our long-standing partners, and we are looking forward to working together again on this exciting project.
Our team delivers top-tier shipbuilding services, working with partners worldwide—from shipyards and equipment suppliers to financial institutions.
