The sister ship of Rolldock Star, which has already completed its first contract, is now being completed at the yard’s outfitting quay and prepared for its delivery in May.
According to their builder FSG, both vessels offer maximal flexibility and a range of different loading possibilities. Two heavy-duty cranes move cargo weighing up to 700 tonnes. In addition, the ships are equipped with height-adjustable stern ramps and hatch covers making them adaptable to port piers of differing heights.
As a result, individual loads weighing up to 3,000 tonnes can be on- or offloaded in classical RoRo mode.
The 8,000-dwt ships can be submerged more than 6m to permit cargo being floated in or out.
