From tankers to carriers
Concordia Maritime is evaluating the feasibility of vessel conversion. Technical design study on conversion launched.
Concordia Maritime has launched a technical design study together with Stena Teknik and a German consulting company specialising in ship design. The aim is to investigate the feasibility of converting and adapting a P-MAX vessel for container transportation. The assignment also includes preparation for “basic design” class approval.
The container segment has shown strong growth in recent years, driven by disruptions to international logistics as well as more structural factors.
According to initial assessments, the P-MAX vessels’ two engines, with full redundancy, and other dimensions make them possible to convert to container vessels with a capacity of approximately 2,100 TEU. It should be stressed that there are a number of technical and market challenges to convert and adapt P-MAX tankers to container ships and there is therefore a risk that the study will lead to that the project will not be concluded.
The technical design study is expected to be completed by the end of Q2 2022 and – if the result is positive – it will be followed by discussions with shipyards and possible charterers to explore potential interest. A full conversion is expected to take approximately 3–5 months.
Concordia Maritime owns a total of 9 P-MAX vessels.

I’ve been exploring CBD or thc infused drinks in search a while, and this article in reality resonated with my own experience. CBD has helped me discontinuance appease, snooze well-advised, and manage weight in a straight habit without that despondent or “foggy” feeling. I’ve tried oils, gummies, and full-spectrum blends each works differently depending on the moment. The timbre in the service of me was consistency and quality: once I switched to organic, lab-tested brands, the results became more noticeable. It’s not a magnetism mend, but it can be a genuine take up the cudgels for for intellectual stabilize and portion recovery.
