Point de Caux Delivery

By Delta Marine , ,

Designed by Delta Marine, Pointe de Caux was delivered from RMK Shipyards to Sogestran Shipping. The latest tanker of the Sogestran's fleet is unique in many ways: using diesel as its main fuel,she is equipped with a battery pack that allows it to operate in "hybrid" mode. In addition, it is equipped with a shore power connection system that can shut down the generator both during loading and unloading to minimize carbon footprint. Finally, the bridge is covered with solar panels that contribute to the onboard power supply. Despite very difficult design constraints, the vessel conformed all criteria as a result of a great care. We are proud to have been a part of this project and look forward to seeing the positive impact this fleet will have on the maritime industry.
