n our continuous effort to upgrade our fleet, 2019 started with the
delivery of five new eco-ships delivered to Oldendorff Carriers, four
of which were delivered on the same day. We are always trying to
reduce our environmental impact and these new (fuel-efficient)
vessels will reduce fuel consumption for transporting cargo and
consequently reduce our carbon footprint.
M/V “JAN OLDENDORFF”, M/V “JOHN OLDENDORFF” and M/V
“JULIUS OLDENDORFF” were delivered from the building yard Nantong
Cosco KHI Ship Engineering Co., Ltd in Nantong, PRC. The three Ultramax
vessels are 61,400 tdw on 13.03 metres Draft with 4 x 30 tons SWL
Mitsubishi cranes, an LOA of 199.90 metres and a Beam of 32.24 metres.
The vessels are fitted with a fuel-efficient MAN-B&W 6S50ME-B9.2 main
engine of 10,000 Kw and fuel saving devices: semi-duct system with
contra-fins and rudder bulb system with fins.
The “JOHN OLDENDORFF” and “JULIUS OLDENDORFF” upon delivery
from the shipyard entered in to long term Time Charters with clients.
The “JAN OLDENDORFF” will service Contracts of Affreightment and spot
market cargoes.

Hantong, PRC. This Kamsarmax vessel is 81,242 tdw on 14.51 metres draft.
She has an LOA of 229 metres and a Beam of 32.26 metres; the vessel has
a fuel-efficient Hyundai-MAN B&W 6S60ME-C8.5 main engine and Yanmar
auxiliaries. Next year, she will be retrofitted with an Exhaust Gas Cleaning
System (Scrubber) to comply with IMO 2020 regulations.
Having sold most of our older vessels, the Oldendorff Carriers Owned
and Bareboat Chartered fleet of 111 vessels now has an average age
of just 4.78 years. With our remaining order book of 38 Newbuildings
including, 21 owned, 13 Time Chartered and 4 Bareboat Chartered,
Oldendorff Carriers will maintain a young and fuel efficient fleet of bulk
carriers going forward. Most of our additional roughly 600 operated
vessels are also young and fuel-efficient and closely mirror our owned
fleet.
