THARSIS 3, 2364dwt sea-rivervessel

In 2010 the negotiations with Dutch shipyard De Kaap started for building the ultimate sea-river vessel. The design was to encorporate the best elements of Tharsis 1 and 2, and would have to anticipate future environmental legislation. As De Kaap built the first Tharsis these plans were used as basis but adjusted and optimized to comply with the new objectives. In July 2011 the contract between the management of Tharsis Sea-River Shipping and shipyard De Kaap was signed and the building would set off in August. Many obstacles and setbacks had to be overcome during the year the ship was built. The last 4 months of the build our complete management team was on site to address the challenges we were faced with. Late september 2012 the Tharsis set off for her first cargo of steel coils from Walsum to Goole. Our company is proud to continue our sea-river shipping heritage with this functional and manouvrable vessel.
