Deltamarin has partnered with ESL Shipping to develop methanol-fueled multi-purpose vessels that are designed to meet diverse logistical needs across global shipping routes.

The contract between the two companies covers the complete basic and detail design of four vessels, with several optional vessels.

Deltamarin says it has worked closely with ESL Shipping on the concept design of the new vessels and, under the new contract, will continue to provide support throughout the entire design life cycle until the project’s completion.

The companies say their flexible design will enable the vessels to respond to evolving logistical demands while ensuring operational efficiency, with the capability to operate using alternative fuels from day one.
