Champion in Short Sea Shipping, MV “DEO VOLENTE”
During the “Maritime Awards Gala” of 1st of November 2007, MV “DEO VOLENTE” won the prestigious “ship of the year” price. Working closely together with Hartman Marine BV and Hartman Seatrade, Conoship International took the challenge to design this “out of bound” vessel. 

The result, the fastest Multi Purpose Heavy Lift vessel in its class, was designed to reach the most technical-economical solution and the design was extensively tested. Engineering, new building and outfitting were focussed on quality, effectiveness and serviceability.

The obstruction free single cargo hold with a length of 61,0 m together with two board cranes with a total tandem capacity of 240 t and the service speed of 18,0 kn at an engine rating below 3.000 kW enable the vessel to provide excellent flexibility for project cargoes all over the world. The vessel is in service since January 2007 and the operational capabilities and vessel economics have proven to be above any expectations.
