en.Wedoany.com Reported - Dutch heavy-lift shipping company Jumbo has signed a contract with China's Dajin Heavy Industry to build two new L-class heavy lift transport vessels. The ship design was developed internally by Jumbo, continuing the tradition of drawing on experience from its existing fleet.

Each vessel is equipped with two Huisman 1,200-ton heavy lift cranes, with a total lifting capacity of 2,400 tons per ship. The new vessels have a deadweight tonnage of 25,000 tons, feature high energy efficiency, and are designed with methanol-ready interfaces, built to DNV classification standards. Jumbo stated that the design prioritizes high deck strength, large open deck areas, deep cargo holds, and flexible lifting capabilities to meet the growing market demand for heavier and more complex offshore lifting operations.

Jumbo's service areas cover global renewable energy, offshore energy and subsea engineering, LNG, floating and roll-on/roll-off transport, and other cargo and project markets. The company is headquartered in Schiedam, the Netherlands.

The first L-class vessel is scheduled for delivery in 2028, and the second in 2029. The contract value has not been disclosed.
