On March 14th 2019 shipyard Royal Niestern Sander announced that it had received an order from Wagenborg for the construction of a sister vessel of the Egbert Wagenborg. The yard will soon start the construction of the second ship of this EasyMax type.
Last week three Wagenborg arrived at the port of Delfzijl to discharge different types of bulk cargo: m.v. Azoresborg, m.v. Vechtborg and m.v. Beatrix.
Last week the m.v. Amurborg, which was on time charter, transported some rail cars from Antwerp to Quebec. The Railcars are for the expanding rail service of the Charlevoix region for touristic reasons.
Last week the m.v. Oranjeborg was at the Oresund drydock in Landskrona for her 15 year renewal survey. After this survey the m.v. Oranjeborg is ready again for service.
On Friday January 25th, Royal Wagenborg renamed the ‘NBP Island’ to ‘Weserborg’. The vessel has been brought under Dutch Flag and Wagenborg’s management. The ‘Weserborg’ is currently at a shipyard in Tallinn to be brought up to Wagenborg standards.
On January 2 the m.v. Virginiaborg was the first ocean-going vessel to reach the Port of Montreal without a stopover in 2019. The Port of Montreal preserved a long-standing tradition: the captain of the first ocean-going vessel to reach the dock at the start of each new is awarded with a precious prize: the Golden Cane.
Recently the m .v. Arneborg successfully completed a first trial shipment for SCA to the US East coast. The A-class vessel, with a total cargo capacity of 15.750 tonnes, loaded 6.000 tonnes of woodpulp as part cargo in the Swedish port of Sundsvall.
