JR Shipping Group is presenting its ECO Feeder program. Since 2019, the Dutch company has joined forces with its German ship design partner Technolog GmbH to invest in the future generation of sustainable container feeder vessels. As a result of this joint effort JR Shipping Group announces the introduction of a series of ECO Feeders.
With our new JR Shipping Annual Review we offer insight into the developments within our shipping company and on the shipping markets that we serve.
This week the crew of container feeder vessel Bermuda Islander were vaccinated against the corona virus. This put them in an exceptional position. Seafarers being granted a preferential position in national vaccination programmes globally deployed against the pandemic is a rare occurrence.
Despite the coronavirus, JR Shipping succeeded in safeguarding the continuity of container transport in 2020. Although crew members were often obliged to perform their work in harsh circumstances, they were able to guarantee a high standard of maritime service.
At the end of July 2020, JR Ship Brokers & Consultants will say farewell to its Managing Director of 13 years, Mr Dik Kuiper. Dik Kuiper has reached retirement age. He will be replaced by Mr Sander Schakelaar, who is one of the Owners/Managing Directors of the shipping group. Mr Jan Reier Arends is the other Owner/Managing Director.
JR Shipping is sailing on, even under the challenging circumstances of the corona crisis. All procedures and measures have been carried out to assure the health and safety of our crew and the efficiency and quality of our operations.
