Second E-Class Delivers
March 3, 2009
The Industrial Egret, the second in a series of four newbuldings to enter the Intermarine fleet in the next twelve months was delivered to Intermarine in Portugal in mid February. The vessel is scheduled to arrive Santos, Brazil around March 6 where it will load Wind Energy Components for Houston. Santos will be the first port of call on the vessel's Maiden Voyage. Nominated as the E-Class series, these 10,000 DWT vessels feature dual 250 metric ton cranes that may be combined for 500 ton lifts. With an overall length of 139 meters and beam of 20 meters, the ships have a similar hull design as the seven Century and six Diamond class vessels operated by Intermarine services, but with increased cargo carrying capacity. The remaining two vessels in the series called Industrial Edge and Industrial Echo will deliver in intervals of about three months thereafter. Intermarine has found this versatile, midsize project/heavy-lift carrier ideal for the customized voyage construction that the companies specializes in. Over the past eight years, this class ship has become the workhorse of the Intermarine fleet.
