Purchase of mv Transporter

We have bought the roro vessel Transporter from Eckerö Shipping Ab Ltd, Mariehamn, Finland, marking a strategic step forward in our fleet expansion and commitment to our key customers.

The vessel, built in 1991, has a capacity of approximately 1250 lane meters and is ideally suited for transporting paper and a wide range of rolling cargo, including trailers, mafis, trucks, and heavy machinery. 

The vessel’s current crew will remain onboard, ensuring continuity of service for the customer DFDS. The vessel is currently on time charter to DFDS in their liner trade between Fredrikstad, Halden, Norway, Zeebrugge, Belgium and Immingham, UK. We will take over the time charter with DFDS until end December 2025. The delivery will take place within the trading area between 15 October and 22 November 2025. We will also keep the name Transporter. 

With this acquisition, we now operate a fleet of eight vessels, strengthening our position as a reliable tonnage provider in the roro market. The roro market is strong and there are not that many roro vessels in this size available. We strongly believe there will be a future demand for roro vessels in the smaller size segment.  

Our other vessels are employed as below:

Mimer, Midline, December 2025

Midas, CMA CGM, December 2026 + option. 

Mistral, Sea-Cargo, November 2025

Aurora, Peregar, December 2025

Baltic Bright, Holmen Paper, December 2026

Lysvik and Lysbris Seaways, DFDS, December 2026 + options.

We’re pleased to welcome mv Transporter and her experienced crew to our fleet.
