Boomsma Shipping has announced it is collaborating with Leonhardt & Blumberg for a joint order for the construction of a series of new generation 8500 t low-emission dry cargo vessels, to be built by the Chowqule and Company Shipbuilding Division Group in India.
The goal is for these vessels to be highly energy efficient and designed to be adaptable to future energy sources. The vessels are also ready for innovations such as wind assisted propulsion, carbon capture and emission free operation via battery power to lower emissions even further.
From autumn 2025 onwards the vessels will be delivered either to Boomsma Shipping or Leonhardt & Blumberg. Once in service, the vessels will all be commercially operated in a pool by NewTide Chartering B.V. in Rotterdam, part of the Boomsma group.
