en.Wedoany.com Reported - Conoship International BV has added a CIP230 TEU container feeder vessel to its short-sea shipping standard design portfolio, built on the proven CIP3800 platform. The CIP3800 platform has become a reliable foundation for efficient short-sea vessels, with over 30 units built worldwide. The new CIP230 TEU design combines proven performance with dedicated container cargo handling capabilities.

In response to market demand for flexible micro-feeder capacity, the CIP230 TEU offers maximum flexibility for different container sizes, efficient port operations, and excellent fuel consumption. The vessel is designed for regional container routes, smaller port operations, and short-sea logistics, where reliability, compact size, and quick turnaround are critical.

The vessel has an overall length of 99.93 meters, designed to operate below the 100-meter threshold. It features a full cell-guide configuration without hatch covers, eliminating the need for covers above the main cargo hold. The maximum container capacity is 230 TEU, or 113 FEU, or 48 45-foot containers. Through a standardized basic design, the engineering framework enables optimized construction processes and shorter delivery lead times. The basic design package is available for licensing through Conoship International upon request, offering shipowners the flexibility to contract vessel construction at their chosen shipyard.
