Anglo-Dutch shipowner Carisbrooke Shipping has begun its fleet-renewal programme with an order for a diesel-electric multipurpose (MPP) vessel in the Netherlands.
The company has chosen Kampen-based Thecla Bodewes Shipyards to construct a 7,200-dwt Labrax-type eco ship to be delivered in 2026.
The deal was signed by Thecla Bodewes, chief executive of Thecla Bodewes Shipyards, and Carisbrooke counterpart Helen Tveitan.
