The vessels are to be named MV Arion, MV Hestia and MV Neptune.
Upon supply, MV Arion and MV Hestia will enter right into a long-term constitution with Amadeus Schiffahrts- und Speditions, a subsidiary of HGK Shipping. Under the time period of the constitution settlement, the vessels will function beneath the names Amadeus Pearl and Amadeus Ruby.
The dimension of the 3850 dwt Combi Freighter is 12.5 by 5.48 metres. The new era CF 3850 has been designed utilizing computation fluid dynamics (CFD), leading to decreasing the vessel’s resistance within the water, thereby lowering gas consumption.

We are pleased to see the project proceeding smoothly and punctually and are very happy with the excellent cooperation with Damen and the Ba Son shipyard. We look forward to taking delivery of the MV Arion in summer this year, and to further strengthening our cooperation with Damen in the future,” mentioned Kay Lauterjung, Reederei M.
