Cyprus/Canada: Eureka Shipping has announced the construction of a new cement carrier for operation in the Great Lakes, designed to replace two older vessels whilst maintaining the same cargo capacity. The vessel will discharge cargo at rates of up to 1000t/hr.
The carrier is currently under construction by the Holland Shipyard Group in the Netherlands and is scheduled for delivery in 2025. Until then, the MV Sunnanvik will service its trade routes in the region from April 2024.
