Wagenborg has placed a new order for an EasyMax Type vessel at the Royal Niestern Sander Shipyard. The vessel, a sister ship of the previously delivered Egbert and Máxima is scheduled for delivery in the first half of 2023. 

It is the third EasyMax type for Wagenborg with the company also taking an option for a fourth such vessel. The EasyMax concept is a multipurpose vessel with a cargo capacity of 14,000 tons and was jointly developed by Wagenborg and Niestern Sander.

The Egbert Wagenborg and Máxima have now proven themselves as sustainable and successful ship types. With its cargo capacity and a hold capacity of 625,000 cbft, Wagenborg was able to develop a relatively large vessel without a major increase in overall dimensions.

The newbuild’s sister vessels Egbert and Máxima have an installed power of less than 3,000 kW, the vessels have extremely low fuel consumption and due to the design, have excellent sea keeping performance. According to Wagenborg, the company’s focus on Energy Efficiency resulted in over 60 percent savings in CO2-emissions compared to her peer group.
