Trader 18 type vessel
Vessel type Info:
Global Seatrade-designed "Trader 18" vessels are the fastest in its class in the world. An innovative hull design allows for a speed of 18 knots instead of the usual 12, with only a slight increase in fuel cost. Fewer sailing days means less cost for customers.
This "Trader 18" type won the prestigious Dutch "ship of the year" award in 2007. The versatility of the design, the lifting capacity up to 240 tonnes with 24 metre outreach and shallow draught gives customers an unique combination of features that even six years later cannot be matched by competitors.
