Energy efficient vessels minimize environmental footprint
The aerodynamic hull shapes of the various ship types, in combination with the energy-efficient propulsion concepts and propeller in a nozzle, results in low fuel consumption. In addition, live data systems monitor fuel consumption. Supplemented with periodic fuel-efficiency reports, both crew and shore personnel are completely focused on efficient sailing and minimizing the environmental footprint in the supply chain.
- +60% CO2 reduction with latest EasyMax ship design
- Smart shipping possibilities for 100% of the Wagenborg fleet
Box shaped holds, tween decks and removable bulk heads
All our vessels have box-shaped holds to stow various types of cargo perfectly. Pontoon and/or hydraulic hatches and dehumidifying systems ensure water tight and undamaged sea transport. In addition, many vessels are equipped with removable tween decks and bulkheads. This allows separation of cargo types and optimal stowing of various cargo simultaneously. In-house cargo superintendents support optimal loading.
- Flexible loading possibilities
- Lowest damage rates in the market


Geared and gearless
In addition to flexibility in terms of vessel size, offers Wagenborg next to her gearless vessels, also geared tonnage. With these geared vessels bulk producers and traders can trade in areas without port crane facilities. The ships with deck cranes are perfectly suitable for handling project cargoes and breakbulk while the gearless tonnage are mainly used for bulk cargoes.
- Combined lifting capacity up to 120 tonnes SWL
- ~20% of the MPP fleet is equipped with deck cranes
- Geared fleet ranging from 9.000 – 19.500 DWCC
