Recently, Sumec marine Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of SUMEC Group Corporation (SUMEC) signed a construction contract for 2 Crown 63 PLUS bulk carriers with CCB Financial Leasing Co., Ltd.
In parallel, Sumec marine has renewed the Letter of Intent with Bohai Shipping (Hebei) Co., Ltd. for two more Crown 63 PLUS bulk carriers.
It is reported that the signing of this contract is the first cooperation among Sumec marine, CCB Financial Leasing and Bohai Shipping (Hebei). The two bulk carriers of CCB Financial Leasing will be operated by Bohai Shipping (Hebei) after delivery.
Crown 63 PLUS bulk carrier 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 Crown 63 PLUS bulk carrier 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.
As of today, Sumec marine is holding orders for 63 vessels with deliveries up to the fourth quarter of 2027.
