We are happy to announce that Erik Thun AB has granted Ferus Smit Shipyards the order for building 8 new vessels. The contracts exist of four multi-purpose dry cargo vessels of 5100 dwt with Ice class 1B and four 7999 dwt coastal tankers which add to the two previously ordered resource efficient ’R-class’ tankers. The vessels will be built at our yard in Westerbroek and will be delivered between 2024 and 2027.

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