It is the first of six vessels that Hyundai Mipo is building for Bahri at a price of USD 70 million each. They will replace the existing vessels and expand the shipping company’s general cargo segment.
The new RoCon vessels are equipped with a loading bridge with a capacity of 250 tonnes, and heavy-lift cranes with a capacity of 240 tonnes, enabling them to load a variety of goods. With a deadweight of 26,000 tonnes each, the vessels are smaller than those of the current fleet while having more cargo lifting capabilities at a lower fuel consumption.
Bahri’s five remaining vessels will be delivered in intervals of three months until March 2014.
