Sustainability in shipping is no longer a distant goal, it’s happening right now. We have been nominated for the Breakbulk Europe 2025 Green World Award in recognition of the CIP3600, a design that sets the course for the future.
Leading the way in sustainable short-sea shipping
Our CIP3600 vessel, exemplified by the Amadeus Saffier, represents a new benchmark in green shipping. Designed by Conoship International and built by our trusted partner Holland Shipyards Group, this next-generation general cargo vessel delivers:
-
20% CO₂ reduction
-
25% lower fuel consumption
-
Diesel-electric propulsion featuring the advanced D&A Electric® e-prop system
-
Optimized hull design for enhanced energy efficiency
-
Wind-assisted propulsion (optional) for additional fuel savings
With these cutting-edge features, the CIP3600 is currently the most economical vessel in its fleet, proving that environmental responsibility and operational efficiency can go hand-in-hand.
Proven, scalable and future-fuel ready
Holland Shipyards Group has already delivered five CIP vessels, with three more under construction. A major element for our nomination is the scalability of our CIP-series, making it easy for our clients to scale up, or renew, their fleet at rapid pace for a highly competitive price. Additionally, the market viability of the series if further enhanced by the long-term adaptability of the general cargo vessels. The modular propulsion concept ensures compliance with evolving environmental regulations and extends vessel lifecycle value.
