Finland-based shipping company Langh Ship conducted a naming ceremony for the second of three new eco-friendly multipurpose dry cargo vessels in Ningbo, China, reports Offshore Energy.
Vessel Name: Olivia
The vessel, named Olivia, was constructed at Wuhu Shipyard in China. It incorporates modern technology and advanced solutions aimed at reducing emissions, aligning with Langh Ship’s commitment to zero-emission sea transports.
Environmental Focus by Langh Tech

Innovative Solutions on Olivia

The series of three vessels, including Olivia, is specifically designed for Langh Ship’s established trade of transporting steel coils from Finland to Central Europe for Finnish stainless steel producer Outokumpu.
Cargo and Sustainable Practices
Langh Ship focuses on sustainability not only in vessel construction but also in cargo carriage solutions. The vessels transport steel coils, and the return cargo consists of recycled stainless steel and other bulk products.
Operational Update: Lovisa
Olivia’s sister vessel, Lovisa, delivered to Langh Ship in November, recently arrived in Europe and has commenced its liner service between Finland and the Netherlands for Outokumpu.
