JR Ship Investments, part of JR Shipping Group, has launched the MV Epsilon participation project. Following the completed Essence and Esperance projects earlier this year, this new project brings together the Group’s shipping expertise and private investment in an operational container feeder vessel.
MV Epsilon is a 974 TEU container feeder built by Germany’s Rolandwerft in 2008. Vessels of this size connect major container hubs with regional ports, supporting both international supply chains and trade within Europe.
The project combines the vessel’s continued operation with a planned investment in its technical performance. A retrofit scheduled for March 2028, alongside the regular dry-docking, will include modifications to the bow and propeller aimed at reducing fuel consumption and CO₂ emissions.
Shipping expertise and direct involvement
JR Shipping Group will participate in the project for €2 million, alongside other investors. Within the Group, JR Ship Management will provide operational management, while Confeeder Shipping & Chartering will handle commercial management. JR Ship Investments coordinates the participation project and communication with investors.
The vessel’s current charter expires no later than early June 2027. Subsequent employment will depend on the market conditions at that time. Future charter rates and contract duration have not yet been secured.
Participation through JR Ship Investments
The project is offered exclusively in the Netherlands, with a minimum participation of €100,000 per investor. Participants acquire an interest in m.s. Epsilon Scheepvaartbedrijf CV and share proportionately in its operating results and the outcome of the vessel’s eventual sale.
Participation involves risks. Returns and distributions are not guaranteed, participations have limited transferability, and investors may lose part or all of their investment.
Full details of the project, its structure, assumptions and risks are available through JR Ship Investments. Prospective investors should read the complete prospectus and its appendices before making an investment decision. The project documentation is available in Dutch.

The offering relies on the exemption from the obligation to publish an approved prospectus under Article 1(4)(d) of Regulation (EU) 2017/1129, based on a minimum investment of €100,000 per investor. The prospectus has not been approved by the Netherlands Authority for the Financial Markets (AFM).
