First of six for Vertom
MULTIPURPOSE
The 7,000dwt Vertom Patty, the first of a series of six diesel-electric multipurpose dry cargo carriers being built for Holland’s Vertom group by Thecla Bodewes Shipyards at Kampen, is due to be delivered by the end of the year.
She will be followed by sisterships Vertom Cyta and Vertom Tomma in 2023. The vessels make use of a box-shaped cargo hold to ensure optimal loading flexibility and maximum cargo intake and have modular diesel/electric propulsion systems.
