Kongsberg Maritime has been awarded a contract to supply design, engineering, and equipment for two MGO/Biofuel and methanol-ready chemical tankers for Swedish operator Sirius Rederi AB. These 15,000dwt vessels, featuring Kongsberg Maritime equipment, are designed for low emissions and can operate on battery-powered hybrid propulsion. The contract, valued at around NOK 100 million (approximately €8.3 million), also includes steering gear, Promas propulsion system, tunnel thruster, automation systems, and deck machinery. The vessels, part of a program with a similar design for Terntank, will be constructed at China Merchants Jinling Shipyard (Yangzhou) Dingheng, with the first delivery scheduled for July 2026. The Energy Efficiency Design Index is expected to be close to 40
