Erik Thun announced that they have taken delivery of dry cargo vessel M/V Nordic Crystal, built at Shipsveerf Ferus Smit in Leer, Germany. As of last week, she is in trade, sailing from Eemshaven to Hamburg for her first loading.

Reduced fuel consumption, an increased cargo intake, less exhaust emissions and lowered noise levels are a few examples of the trademarks of this new generation of dry cargo vessels. The new-buildings are equipped with a frequency converter for versatile shore power connection

”We have always had a high focus on resource efficiency translating into modern environmental care. It is a challenge to build vessels fit for the future but our long experience in the business paired with our vision to be a sustainable Swedish partner over generations, gives us a good basis for continual improvement and innovative design, says Henrik Källsson, Deputy Managing Director at Erik Thun AB.
