Future-proof feeder ship approved by LR

Developed by Technolog, Seaspan’s Next Generation Feeder Ship measures 198 metres and has been designed to both meet current market demands and capitalise on future opportunities.

“We are committed to providing creative solutions to our customers in support of their decarbonisation journey and the best way to do this is through partnerships and collaborations with industry leaders such as LR and Technolog,” said Peter Jackson, senior vice president of assets and technology at Seaspan Corporation.

“Seaspan and LR have partnered to address important topics for many years, and this is an excellent result of one of those partnerships.

“Technolog’s input has also provided a creative solution and demonstrated their leadership in the ship design and Feeder Ship segment.”

Seaspan is a founding partner of several LR safety tech accelerator initiatives, including ‘Methane Abatement in Maritime Innovation Initiative’ and ‘Cargo Fire and Loss Innovation Initiative’. Seaspan and LR are also collaborating on exploring how the energy transition is affecting seafarer safety.

“This AiP highlights Seaspan’s dedication to excellence and sustainability in maritime transportation and LR remains committed to supporting industry leaders like Seaspan in their pursuit of cutting-edge solutions that drive positive change and set new standards for the future of shipping,” said Andy McKeran, chief commercial officer at Lloyd’s Register.

The second phase of the project will focus on a DF ammonia feeder vessel.
