Sustainable shipping solutions
In all our activities, we strive to minimise adverse environmental impacts. The most efficient and simplest way to do this is to optimise the sailing speed.
Our whole fleet is able to use renewable diesel (HVO), which can reduce lifecycle GHG emissions by up to 90%.
We also offer our customers the possibility to opt in for Virtual Arrival, which strives to optimise the vessel’s speed during the passage and minimise the waiting time at the anchorage. By reducing the vessel’s speed, it is also possible to reduce the consumption and consequently CO2 emissions and congestion in the port and anchorage area when the vessel is able to enter the port directly on arrival.

Dry bulk and breakbulk
Our large fleet of ice-strengthened general cargo vessels between 4,000 and 6,000 dwt provides customers with the possibility to choose the most suitable vessel size for each shipment.
We carry bulk commodities such as fertilizers, grain and dry biofuels. All of our vessels have bulkheads enabling the loading of different cargoes or grades in one shipment without needing to worry about mixing. Some vessels are equipped with dehumidifiers to control the moisture in the cargo hold.
Usual break bulk cargoes include steel products, sawn timber and woodpulp. With the support of our own supercargo personnel always available to assist the crew in preparing the most optimal stowage plan, our vessels are the perfect fit for challenging breakbulk shipments. Some of the vessels are equipped with removable tweendecks increasing the loading capacity of steel products.
Project cargoes
With the support of our own supercargo personnel always available to assist the crew in preparing the most optimal stowage plan, our vessels are the perfect fit for project shipments.
Our vessels have carried various types of project cargo including windmill parts, house modules and Azipod propulsion units.
Most of the fleet offers 50-65 metre unobstructed hold which is perfect for longer units. Our vessels are also capable of taking cargo on deck either as project cargo or as containers.

Case: House modules by sea
Case: Windmill blades to Gdynia
The plug-in hybrid vessel Maximar successfully transported windmill blades from Eemshaven, Germany to Gdynia, Poland. The video highlights how the bridge-forward design simplifies the planning and stacking of these blades.
Case: Windmill tower sections
Ecomar successfully transported four consignments of windmill tower sections from Germany to Köpmanholmen, Sweden. The winter conditions necessitated the use of an ice-class vessel, and the cargo was efficiently stowed to an unobstructed hold and extensive deck space.
Case: 141-ton drum pulpers
Optimar-series vessel loaded two large, 141-ton drum pulper units in Kemi, Finland bound for Continental Europe. Thanks to her 13,18-metre wide hold, it was possible to load two of these massive units side by side.
The dimensions of the drum pulpers were 32,24 m x 5,0 m x 5,13 m.
