Conoship International B.V. has announced the latest addition to its short-sea, standard design portfolio: the CIP230 TEU Container Feeder.
This new vessel design expands Conoship’s standardized CIP-series with a compact container feeder solution for short-sea operations, built on the proven CIP3800 platform.
The CIP3800 platform has become a trusted basis for efficient short-sea vessels, with more than 30 vessels built worldwide. With the CIP230 TEU Container Feeder, the series now has a dedicated container feeder design that combines proven performance with container-specific cargo handling.
Developed in response to market demand for flexible micro-feeder capacity, the CIP230 TEU offers maximum flexibility for different container sizes, efficient port throughput, and excellent fuel economy. The vessel is designed for regional container routes, smaller port operations, and short-sea logistics where reliability, compact dimensions, and fast turnaround times are essential.
Designed with an overall length of 99.93 meters, the CIP230 TEU is engineered to sit beneath the 100-meter threshold. The vessel features a hatch coverless, fully cellular configuration that eliminates the need for traditional hatch covers over the main cargo hold. It has a maximum intake capacity of 230 TEU, or 113 FEU, or 48 45 ft. units.
