Veer collaborates with Fosen shipyard to build the world's first zero emission ocean going container ship
After a year, the "world's first" zero emission ocean going container ship developed by maritime startup Veer is about to begin construction.
Recently, Veer signed a letter of intent with Fosen shipyard in Germany to develop, construct, sell, and purchase two wind powered/hydrogen powered auxiliary container ships, which will be the world's first clean container ships for ocean voyages.
Veer introduced that its new fleet, which is "future oriented, fast, clean, and cost competitive," combines innovative hull shapes, Dynarig sails, and hydrogen fuel cells to improve speed and endurance. The design name of this type of ship is Design N º 1, which has been defined by the International Maritime Organization (IMO) as "absolutely zero emissions" and has a classification symbol for silent operation.
In terms of technical management, Veer will collaborate with Bernhard Schulte, a ship management company. In addition, the company has also held talks with FutureShips ship brokerage company and is discussing with multiple lessees to provide clean liner services from these two new ships starting from 2027.
Veer CEO Danielle Southcott said, "We are delighted to take this important step together with Fosen Shipyard. After a year long bidding process, our team believes that Fosen Shipyard is the best and most suitable partner, and a highly capable shipyard
Carsten Stellamanns, CEO of Fosen Shipyard, stated, "We are pleased that Veer has chosen us to build Germany's first zero emission container ship. We look forward to working with Veer to create a game changing concept and turn it into reality
It is reported that Veer's zero emission container ship project received principle approval (AiP) from the American Bureau of Shipping in October 2022. The company has also received a € 50 million letter of intent from Prow Capital in the Netherlands to provide funding for the design and construction of a new ship. At present, the company is undergoing Series A investment and financing.
