AVIC International Maritime bags $4.5m vessel design job

Construction will commence in spring 2017.

AVIC International Maritime Holdings, through its subsidiary, Deltamarine, nabbed a $4.5 million (€3M) design work that includes basic and detail design of hull outfitting, machinery and cargo areas.

In a press release, AVIC said Deltamarine will provide the Finnish Rauma Marine Constructions Oy shipyard with services for a ro-pax vessel to be built for the Danish Mols-Linien A/S.

“The new 158-metre ro-pax vessel will be designed and optimised to carry passengers and cargo between the Danish islands of Bornholm and Sjaelland. The cargo capacity will be 1,500 lane metres,” the press release said.

Construction will commence in spring 2017 and the vessel will enter service in autumn 2018.

This is not the first Deltamarine is rendering services for Mols-Lienen A/S as it previously developed its technical outline material for the purpose of the yard tendering.
