Delighted to announce the successful delivery of our newbuilding vessel M/V Gloria del Mare - the second of the five Ultramax vessels contracted with Tsuneishi Shipbuilding Co., Ltd., this time at Tsuneishi Heavy Industries (Cebu), Inc..
While adverse weather conditions & the typhoon situation in the Philippines prevented the traditional Naming & Delivery ceremony from taking place in person, our CEO, Costas Delaportas, and the DryDel Shipping team joined the vessel hand-over remotely.
M/V Gloria del Mare, 63,300 dwt, scrubber fitted, is built to the TESS64 AEROLINE design - one of the most advanced Ultramax concepts currently available - and delivers superior fuel efficiency & optimized performance to our fleet.
With this addition, DryDel Shipping’s average fleet age now falls way below 4 years, underscoring our continued focus on fleet modernisation & sustainability.
Thank you all for your support, commitment & teamwork!
Fair winds & safe voyages to the M/V Gloria del Mare & her crew!
