Carisbrooke Shipping Ltd

About Us

Carisbrooke Shipping has always looked in detail at methods to maximize the cargo intake of its vessels. While at the same time reducing fuel consumption, yet maintaining vessel speed.When Carisbrooke was approached by its partner, Groot Ship Design, which was already working on an innovative new bow design to increase efficiency, to work on a Green Ship Project, it jumped at the chance to have a competitive edge with the most modern and efficient vessels.The bow design was added to the plans of an 8500 dwt general cargo ship, the hull was streamlined and a nozzle added to further improve the vessel’s performance.Tank testing soon followed and the figures ascertained were encouraging. Impressed by the vessel’s performance, Carisbrooke Shipping decided to invest in what was to become the new fleet of Super Green Ships.
