Norway's Hagland Shipping has entered into an agreement with Dutch shipyard Royal Bodewes for the construction of one additional self-discharging bulk carrier of 5,000 DWT.
The vessel will be the third in a series slated for Hagland. The first two vessels are under construction at Royal Bodewes' facilities.
Each vessel will be fitted with a plug-in battery hybrid system that complies with IMO Tier III emissions requirements.
The newbuildings will replace three older Hagland vessels fitted with traditional propulsion systems. Deliveries are scheduled to commence in the summer of 2022 and end in mid-2023.
