The Greyshark is equipped with a silent electric propulsion system, a non-metallic hull resistant to high pressure, and is characterized by a very low level of hydroacoustic and echo sounder visibility.
Construction of the first vessel’s hull will take place at Vard Shipyards Romania – Brăila, followed by outfitting and delivery from one of VARD’s Norwegian shipyards
Following the initial order in May 2023 for three newbuilds, this brings the total to five vessels and 20 VentoFoils, with each ship fitted with four 16-meter wind wings.
Bibby Marine laid the keel for its 6,700GT e-CSOV at the Armon Shipyard in Vigo, Spain. The first of its kind hybrid-powered vessel will operate on zero-emissions.
Each CSOV will measure approximately 87 meters in length and 19.5 meters in beam. They will be equipped with state-of-the-art DP2 positioning and seakeeping systems.
