Partners CY Shipping and BigLift Shipping have increased their fleet of heavylift vessels to six vessels, by adding two ships at Jing Jiang Nanyang Shipbuilding in China. The first vessel, owned by CY Shipping, will be delivered in Q4 2025 and the second vessel, owned by BigLift Shipping, in Q2 2026. The 180 m long ships have a fully unobstructed deck space of 6,020 sq m. No prices have been revealed.

Johan Boer, commercial director at BigLift Shipping, said: “It’s great to see how an initial idea turns into such a strong partnership. Both companies share many of the same values, and we are pleased to start this newbuilding program together with CY Shipping.”

Since 2019 BigLift Shipping and CY Shipping have combined their heavy transport shipping capabilities.
