As disclosed, the roll-on/roll-off (RoRo) and roll-on/roll-off passenger (RoPax) vessel specialist has signed a letter of intent (LoI) for 2+2+2 RoRo cargo ships with a capacity of 3,000-4,700 lane meters with China Merchant Industries Weihai.
“This LOI is a strategic investment for Stena RoRo in a segment which for a long time has been underinvested,” the Swedish company said in a statement.
Specifically, the C-Flexer design builds on the company’s previous E-Flexer and NewMax concepts with a combination of a highly efficient hull form, engines ready for future fuels and an expandable battery hybrid design.
“These ships will be built for today and designed for tomorrow,”Per Westling, CEO
