We are delighted to have advised Carsten Rehder in relation to an agreement with Garden Reach Shipbuilders & Engineers Ltd., India, for the construction and delivery of four CORAL 7500 Multipurpose Dry Cargo Vessels, with an option of another four ships.

The CORAL7500 design by SEDS is optimized for the European short-sea trade, with highest cargo flexibility and readiness for the future energy transition.

The single cargo hold has been maximized for abt. 400.000cbf capacity and can be segregated with two bulkheads. The bulkhead panels may also be used as tween-decks. The vessels will feature a bridge-forward design, with a flush aft deck and hatchcoverless (open top) notation, providing excellent flexibility for project cargo.

The main engine will be supplied by Anglo Belgian Corporation and is currently the only class approved engine type for methanol and hydrogen retrofit within its power segment today.

The ERG team was led by partners Adam Parmenter and Hauke Rittscher (both Hamburg).
