Lübeck | 10 November 2026
BAAS Shipping and Nordic Hamburg are jointly expanding their fleets with two new ENVIRO FEEDER-class container feeder vessels. BAAS Shipping will be responsible for the technical management of the newbuilds, whilst Nordic Hamburg will be responsible for crew management. With this joint order, the partners are creating additional capacity for European container transport.
High-performance newbuilds for short-sea shipping
The two vessels are being built by the China Merchants Industry Group in Qingdao. Each has a capacity of around 1,100 TEU and can accommodate up to 270 reefer containers. A hydrodynamically optimised hull shape supports cost-effective operation, complemented by a shore power connection and provision for future operation using methanol. The vessels are also structurally prepared for future CO₂ capture systems.
BAAS Shipping remains steadfastly on course
With this joint order, BAAS Shipping and Nordic Hamburg are strengthening their partnership and pooling their expertise in technical and operational ship management. The newbuilds are intended for service on routes between North Sea and Baltic Sea ports and will create additional capacity in European container transport. For BAAS Shipping, the investment represents a targeted expansion of its container feeder portfolio and a further step in the company’s strategic development.
