The Swedish shipping company Berndtssons Rederi has commissioned the Chinese Dayang Offshore Equipment to construct a brand-new 8,500t dwt-big, 1B ice class dry bulk carrier, scheduled for delivery in 2021.

The ship has been designed by the Norwegian Marine Design & Consulting. The blueprint provides for the installation of batteries in the future should the investor decide to do so.

The agreement with the shipyard includes an option for a sister ship.
