MV Selvaagsund III

(2023 – )

In March 2021 Berge Rederi AS signed up for another newbuilding with Dayang Shipyard in China (Shanghai). This vessel is MV Sletringen’s sister vessel and will be named MV Selvaagsund. Selvaagsund (S= 8500 Dwt) will be delivered April 2023 and rebuilt to a self-discharger with excavator same year in Tallinn. Selvaagsund will also be a hybrid vessel. She will have the identical dual power source as Sletringen (diesel + electrical). The two sister vessels also have identical electrical excavators. However, unlike Sletringen, Selvaagsund’s propeller is slightly larger. This alteration contributes to an estimate of 10-12% better fuel efficiency. Like Sletringen, the emission of CO2 is very low, and the emission of NOX is close to zero. This vessel ultimately improves the already impressive efficiency, economy, and low environmental footprint set by our vessels. The cargo capacity is 8150 Tn, with 2 cargo holds of a total 12100 cbm consisting of 2 movable bulkheads. The vessel's main cargo were raw materials for the salmon and agriculture industry in Norway. Outbound cargoes are mainly dolomite, crumbles, timber and split.
