The overall vessel length will be below 180 m and the beam 30 m. The service speed at design draught is 14.0 knots. The deadweight is 40,000 metric tonnes at scantling draught. The vessels will have 5 cargo holds and can take 50,000 m3 of cargo. Deltamarin has focused on fuel efficiency, sustainability and safety during the concept development process, while simultaneously focusing on the cost efficiency of the concept. E.g. the model tested daily fuel oil consumption at design draft is only 18t including 15% seamargin, ISO condition, and annual output of CO2 is estimated to be reduced by 5,000 tonnes compared to existing vessels of same size range.

Deltamarin has made a breakthrough in the bulk carrier market now totally 21 newbuildings with several options already signed of Panamax, Lakers and B.Delta37 types. All these vessel types have been extensively tested at the HSVA Model basin in Hamburg with very good correlation to full scale. Well-known owners are convinced of Deltamarin’s performance based on consistent model test results.

The first B.Delta37 standard designs are being built for the French shipowners Louis Dreyfus Armateurs also at Tianjin Xingang shipyard. Derivative designs of B.Delta are currently under construction at Nantong Mingde Heavy Industry (Laker Bulk Carriers and Self Unloaders) and at Chengxi Shipyard (Panamax Self Unloaders), part of CSSC Group.

There are serious discussions ongoing with several ship owners for continuation of the B.Delta25, B.Delta37, B.Delta64 and B.Delta82 series. The lower fuel and  operating costs and added cargo capacity are very much of interest to ship owners, whereas the lower light ship weight resulting in less required steel and the optimized hull form benefit the shipyards. B.Delta37 series has also been further developed with several alternative designs including box shape holds for steel and coil cargoes, ice class, timber deck cargo and similar.

The work will be carried out at Deltamarin’s offices in Europe and China and utilizing the partner network.
