Euroseas announces completion of retrofits of its intermediate containership

Euroseas announced it has successfully completed the installation of a number of “energy saving devices” on its 6,350 teu intermediate containership, M/V Marcos V, aiming to improve her consumption in the commercial speed range by about 25%. The investment was done in conjunction with the vessel’s scheduled dry docking and special survey and was funded by the charterer of the vessel, who contemporaneously declared their option to extend the charter by an additional minimum seven months to August 2025. Aristides Pittas, Chairman and CEO of Euroseas commented: “We are pleased to announce the completion of retrofits for our M/V Marcos V, continuing our retrofitting program, as part of our efforts to minimize the carbon footprint of our fleet. As in the case of the recent retrofit of M/V Synergy Busan, we cooperated closely with the charterer to specify and fund the modifications of the vessel and share the economic benefit from the improved performance.”
