Bore orders two RoRos

Bore, the Finnish shipping company, has, as part of its active fleet renewal program, signed a contract for two new RoRo vessels, and holds an option for another two, to be built at Flensburger Schiffbau-Gesellschaft mbH & Co KG in Germany.

The two RoRo vessels will be delivered in May and August 2011 respectively and will have an initial capacity of 2,900 lane meters each. The vessels can accommodate double-stacked containers on mafis on all decks and can be equipped with hoistable car decks. The overall length of each vessel is 195 metres and the breadth is 26 metres, the design draft is 7.05 metres and the design deadweight is 13,025 tonnes.

The vessels will comply with the rules of the Finnish Swedish ice class 1A, fulfil the latest safety and environmental rules and be able to operate at a speed up to 19 knots with efficient bunker consumption. The overall investment in these two new vessels amounts to some EUR 100 million.
