Damen Shipyards has signed a contract with Belgian shipping company Fast Lines Belgium for the delivery of two Damen Combi Freighter 3850 (CF 3850).

CF 3850

Fast Lines Belgium’s maiden purchase from Damen, the CF 3850, was chosen for its exceptional eco-performance and economy. The company thoroughly evaluated emission reduction options, exploring biofuels, advanced design, and efficiency.

The vessels will feature Damen’s Triton Remote monitoring system, providing real-time fuel consumption and carbon emissions data to both onshore teams and onboard crew.

Sustainable Shipping

For Fast Lines Belgium, the CF 3850 presented as the best solution for small and medium-sized shipowners looking to navigate the energy transition crossroad. The CF 3850 provides the best, affordable solution, reinforced by it having the lowest EEDI (Energy Efficiency Design Index) in the short sea cargo vessel market.

“These will be our first new-build vessels and we are confident that the Damen CF 3850 vessels will fit like a glove in the Fast Lines Belgium’s business,” says managing director Catrien Scheers.

Eco-Efficient Vessels

“Not only are they economical and efficient, our customers will also be able to see for themselves just how low their fuel consumption and therefore their emissions are. This will give us a valuable commercial advantage.”

“We are delighted to welcome Fast Lines Belgium into the Damen family,” added Luc Joos, Sales Manager Belgium at Damen Shipyards. “They reviewed all the options available to them in detail before opting for the CF 3850. We are confident that their new vessels will deliver the performance that they and their customers seek.”
