Recently, Sumec marine Co., Ltd. signed a contract with European shipowner TRANSOCEAN MARITIME AGENCIES S.A.M (“TMA”) for the construction of 2 CROWN63 PLUS bulk carriers (“CROWN63 Version 3.0 “).
It is understood that the ship measures 199.99 meters in overall length, 32.26 meters in width and 18.80 meters in depth. This ship type is the “star” product of Sumec New Dayang Shipbuilding, a subsidiary of Sumec marine, with complete independent intellectual property rights, and so far Sumec New Dayang Shipbuilding has built and delivered hundreds of this ship type.
The CROWN63 version 3.0 features the following three main advantages:
The indicators are excellent: the cargo capacity has increased dramatically, and the figures for speed and fuel consumption are significantly better than those of the CROWN63 2.0 version, with EEDI values far exceeding the baseline, making it an excellent candidate among PHASE 3 vessels.
Excellent design: Sumec marine re-optimizes the hull lines, adopts energy-saving and consumption-reducing design, and realizes the updating and upgrading of the superior vessel type.
Full Configuration: Sumec marine actively promotes the configuration of its product series, providing a variety of configuration options such as low resistance paint, desulfurization tower, high-voltage shore power system, ship intelligence system, etc., to meet the needs of different shipowners in a variety of scenarios.
Founded in the early 1960s by Mr. Guenther Neunhoeffer, TMA is a privately held, family-owned shipowner specializing in bulk carriers. This is the first time that the two parties have worked together, and both sides said they look forward to working together in the future to create more opportunities for cooperation and to deepen their business relationship.
It is reported that, including the latest order, Sumida Marine has 64 vessels on hand with orders scheduled for the second half of 2026.
