Norwegian ship developer Havyard Design & & Solutions has actually been granted an agreement to both brand-new freight vessels for Greenland’s special delivery firm Royal Arctic Line.

The vessels will certainly be developed to deliver temperature-controlled containers as well as basic freight in northwest Greenland.

The 2 freight ships will certainly be developed at Zamakona Yards in Spain as well as are set up for shipment in 2020.

The vessels will certainly be 67 meters in size as well as have complete freight ability of 60 containers or 500 pallets. They will certainly be developed with 4 freight holds, all with various temperature level areas from refrigeration at -27 ° C to cooling down at +4 ° C, Havyard states.
