Amer Shipping contracts Concordia Damen for CDS 110 Dry Cargo vessel

This latest order continues the successful partnership between the two companies, following the deliveries of the AM Voyager, AM Explorer and Johannes Senior. Each vessel in this series is based on Concordia Damen’s in-house developed CDS 110 design – a proven concept optimised for efficiency, sustainability, and reliable performance on the European waterways.

The 110 metre by 11.45 metre vessel features a shallow draught and high cargo capacity, ensuring reliable operations even during periods of low water levels. Its advanced hull form delivers low resistance, reduced fuel consumption, and lower emissions, contributing to a significantly smaller environmental footprint.

As one of the Netherlands’ leading inland shipping companies, operating a fleet of almost 60 vessels, Amer Shipping continues to invest in sustainable fleet renewal and in building sustainable partnerships across the supply chain with shippers, carriers, and cargo owners. “We believe all stakeholders should play an active role in their own supply chain and that of its customers and partners,” says Peter Buijks, co-owner of Amer Shipping.

“In transport, being able to provide a reliable service is key. That’s why we manage maintenance, planning and technical support ourselves. But we can only do that if our fleet consists of high- quality vessels, and that’s where Concordia Damen comes in. With the CDS Dry Cargo 110 we can actually transport 200 t more cargo compared to other 110 metre vessels. Hence, this new CDS 110 supports our company’s long-term vision to provide efficient, low-emission logistics solutions across Europe’s inland transport network.”

Concordia Damen looks forward to delivering this vessel and to continuing its collaboration with Amer Shipping in shaping the future of inland shipping.
