Deltamarine Bags $4.5m Vessel Design Job
Deltamarin, a subsidiary of AVIC International Maritime Holdings, has been contracted by Finland’s Rauma Marine Constructions (RMC) shipyard to design a new ro-pax vessel.
AVIC said Deltamarine will provide the Finnish Rauma Marine Constructions Oy shipyard with services for a ro-pax vessel to be built for the Danish Mols-Linien A/S.
“The new 158-metre ro-pax vessel will be designed and optimised to carry passengers and cargo between the Danish islands of Bornholm and Sjaelland. The cargo capacity will be 1,500 lane metres,” a press release said.
The work under the contract will be performed at Deltamarin’s offices in Finland and Poland for a period of 12 months. "Construction will commence in spring 2017 and the vessel will enter service in autumn 2018," said the release.
Deltamarin engineering management director Janne Uotila said: “This ship contract is very important for Rauma Marine Constructions."
This is not the first Deltamarine is rendering services for Mols-Lienen A/S as it previously developed its technical outline material for the purpose of the yard tendering.
