The first ceremony took place in November and was attended by our Head of Maritime Transport Krystyna Tsochlas and Head of Newbuilds Iain Salter, while the second occurred just a couple of weeks ago. Construction on the vessels is now well underway, the first of which, Orca Fisher, is anticipated join our fleet at the end of 2025. Thank you, CMJL for helping us to usher in our Fleet of the Future, and to our site team for helping to bring these vessels to life!

Four new vessels are joining our fleet of the future! Like the other recent additions to our fleet, Sir John Fisher and Lady Maria Fisher, they will each have LNG dual-fuel propulsion capability to help reduce operational CO2 emissions and associated environmental impact. The first of these vessels is expected to be delivered at the end of the year. Learn more about their capabilities below. #Sustainability #Maritime #OneJamesFisher

We are proud to share a new step in our modernisation plan with the installation of Starlink across the James Fisher Tankships fleet! ⚓ This plan focuses on offering better working conditions to our seafarers and upgrading our vessels with the latest emission-saving technologies.   Starlink provides enhanced on-board connectivity, which is essential for boosting operational efficiency and improving crew morale by allowing better communication with loved ones at home. With real-time data analysis, our team can optimise voyage performance and monitor ship systems more effectively, enabling timely diagnostics and repairs. This continuous improvement in vessel safety and emission reduction ensures we deliver top-quality service to our customers.   #Safety #Digitalisation #Maritime
