Newbuilding for Swedish owner launched
Named “Sigrid”, the newbuilding is 99.5m long and 18.6m wide with a draught of 4.5m. Twelve containers can be transported with a maximum speed of 12 knots. This is about 20% more cargo than the 30-years old predecessor “Sigyn” was able to handle.
The “Sigrid” is designed for the safe transport of spent nuclear fuel and radioactive waste. For safety reasons, the newbuilding is constructed with a double hull, radiation protection, four engines and other multiple systems.
Home port of the “Sigrid” will be Oskarshamn at the east cost of Sweden.
