Nb. 464 will be named as ‘Spiken’, and will be delivered to Erik Thun AB from Lidkoping, Sweden.

Spiken is the second ship in a series of six that will be built according to the new Trollmax mk 4 design. As the name says this is the 4th generation of general cargo bulkers specially designed for trading through the Trollhattan canal and locks, which connect the Swedish interior lakes with the North Sea near Goteborg.

Numerous improvements have been implemented for the new mk4 ; she now has a nozzled propeller, reduced engine output, hybrid technology with battery pack, optimized bulb form and transom shape, closed bridge wings.

Launching of Nb. 458 ‘Arklow Guard’

On Friday the 12th of April at 13.30 hrs. our Nb. 458 ‘Arklow Guard’ will be launched at the Westerbroek shipyard.

Nb. 458 ‘Arklow Guard’ is the last in a series of 5 ships built for Arklow Shipping from Ireland.

With a maximized hold volume of 220.000 cft and a carrying capacity over 5000 deadweight tons, it still falls under the 3000 gross tons limit. Arklow Guard has one single hold and is propelled by a 1600 kW MaK engine with a single ducted propeller.

We are happy to announce that Erik Thun AB has granted Ferus Smit Shipyards an order for building an additional 4 new vessels.

The contracts exist of two multi-purpose dry cargo vessels of 5100 dwt with Ice class 1B which add to the four previously ordered “Lake Vanern Max” vessels and two 7999 dwt coastal tankers which add to the six previously ordered resource efficient “R-class” tankers. The total of fourteen vessels will be delivered between 2024 and 2027.

With these new orders, we are again able to maintain continuity at our yards during these challenging times. We therefore thank @erikthungroup for the confidence and look forward to continue our long term relationship in the years to come!

Ferus Smit: An impression, a movie is worth a thousand words!

On Monday the 1st of March 2021, Our Nb. 451 ‘Thun Equality’ was successfully launched at the Leer yard of Ferus Smit.

A nice movie of one of Symphony’s DP2 vessels using its pipe handling system. As you can see, the ship hardly moves thanks to the DP2 system.
