The multipurpose carrier Intermarine will make four additions to its fleet in the coming days. The company is set to welcome two F500 heavy-lifters, one F360 vessel and one F300, that will join its global trade routes and enhance connections between Europe, Africa and the Americas, bolstering the company’s transatlantic network.

Intermarine has secured four vessels on a long-term charter. The vessels will be sailing under the names Industrial Fraternity (F360), Industrial Skipper (F500), Industrial Swift (F500) and Louise Auerbach (F300). The vessels are set to kick off operations in the next few weeks. MV Industrial Fraternity will join the ranks around January 12, followed by MV Industrial Skipper around January 15. MV Industrial Swift and MV Louise Auerbach will come into service around February 1.

Intermarine CEO Svend Andersen says: “We’ve always had a dynamic blend of owned vessels and time-charter ships in our fleet. It’s a fundamental aspect of our business model. This approach gives us a versatile modus operandi, offering a diverse array of ships precisely tailored to meet the wide variety of customer requests and demands. By adding these modern heavy-lift vessels, we can build on our services with an extremely attractive offering. I’m confident our customers will appreciate it right from the start.”

These modern heavy-lifters seamlessly integrate into the portfolio shared by Intermarine and the Jumbo-SAL-Alliance. The F500 vessels have 2 x 250 t SWL cranes (combinable to 500 t SWL). The F360 has 2 x 180 t SWL cranes (combinable to 360 t SWL), and the F300 offers 2 x 150 t SWL cranes (combinable to 300t SWL). Built between 2016 and 2017, the F500 types represent some of the newest, most efficient vessels in the sector. Boasting a length of 147 metres and a draft of 7.5 metres, these vessels facilitate operations in almost any port.

Intermarine COO Lars Rasmussen added, “It’s critical that we support our customers’ needs with consistent and readily available vessel positions. These vessels seamlessly integrate into our fleet and trade routes, offering operational efficiency and expanded capacity. Their remarkable flexibility, advanced technical capabilities and exceptional fuel efficiency make them an ideal complement to the services offered by both Intermarine and the Jumbo-SAL-Alliance.”

The addition of the four heavy-lifters follows the decision made by Intermarine and Jumbo-SAL-Alliance to expand their South American presence. In September last year, the two companies joined Intermarine’s long-time agent, Marval, to form the new subsidiary JSA-Intermarine Chile.

MV Industrial Fraternity and the MV Louise Auerbach will commence operations from northern Europe. MV Industrial Skipper sets sail from Brazil and MV Industrial Swift departs from the Mediterranean Sea.

Harren Group CEO Martin Harren concludes, “These vessels represent not only exceptional capabilities but also crucial strategic assets for both Intermarine and the Jumbo-SAL-Alliance. With this strategic commitment, we can cater to a more extensive customer base, reinforcing our dedication to meeting our clients’ evolving demands. We consistently ensure that our fleet is well-aligned and equipped with the necessary technical capabilities to address the ever-growing needs of our customers. We look forward to serving both new and existing clients, leveraging the strength of these remarkable vessels.”
