A joint order has been placed between Boomsma Shipping and Leonhardt & Blumberg for the construction of a series new generation 8,500 tonnes low-emission dry cargo vessels.
The vessels will be built by the Chowgule and Company – Shipbuilding Division Group in India, with JR Shipping Shipbrokers & Consultants acting as a matchmaker and newbuilding broker.
The vessels are expected to be energy efficient and adapt to future energy sources, incorporating innovations like wind assisted propulsion, carbon capture, and emission-free operation on batteries.
From autumn 2025, the vessels will be delivered to Boomsma Shipping or Leonhardt & Blumberg, and commercially operated by NewTide Chartering B.V. in Rotterdam.
