Concordia Maritime launched the study together with Stena Teknik and a German consulting company specializing in ship design. The aim is to investigate the feasibility of converting and adapting a P-MAX vessel for container transportation. The assignment also includes preparation for \u201cbasic design\u201d class approval.<\/p>\n

According to initial assessments, the P-MAX vessels\u2019 two engines, with full redundancy, and other dimensions make them possible to convert to container vessels with a capacity of approximately 2,100 TEU.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In making the announcement, the company was quick to stress that there are a number of technical and market challenges to overcome, with the design study expected to be completed by the end of Q2 2022.<\/p>\n
