Royal Wagenborg on Thursday (8 October) named and launched the first vessel of its new EasyMax 2.0 generation at shipyard Royal Niestern Sander.
ABELINA WAGENBORG is the seventh EasyMax vessel in the Wagenborg fleet, but the first of a new generation.
EasyMax 2.0 builds on the operational experience gained with the previous vessels and takes efficiency another step forward.
According to the company, the vessel ranks number one on the Energy Efficiency Design Index and has been prepared for using alternative fuels including methanol, ammonia and LNG.
“This fuel flexibility is important in a shipping market in transition. Rather than betting on one single solution, the vessel has been designed to provide flexibility as technologies, fuels and market requirements continue to develop,” the company said on its website.
The vessel was officially named by Godmothers Jacqueline Vuursteen, Jeanette Wagenborg and Aletta Wagenborg before launching into the water.
