As of 1 April 2022, Robert-Jean Dupuis will be the new Director Ship Management of the JR Shipping Group. He succeeds Harm Mulder, who has given shape and content to this key function for more than 16 years.
This makes us proud. Another agreement with Value Maritime for the sustainability of one of our vessels has been signed. This summer, Value Maritime’s advanced filter and carbon capture system will also be installed on our container feeder vessel MV Energy.
MV Endeavor, one of our 750 TEU container feeder vessels, will soon be equipped with the Value Maritime Filtree System and Carbon Capture module. In this way, we will significantly reduce the emissions of this vessel.
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.
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.
