CY Shipping and BigLift Shipping have announced the addition of two new BC-Class vessels to their joint fleet of Heavy Transport Vessels (HTVs), bringing the total to eight.
The first vessel is set for delivery in Q1 2028, with the second due for delivery in Q3 2028.
Newbuilding contracts for the ships have been signed with Chinese company Jing Jiang Nanyang Shipbuilding Co., Ltd, which also developed the initial two BC-Class vessels.
The vessels have been jointly designed by CY Shipping and BigLift Shipping, and will be capable of carrying ultra-large and heavy modular cargoes internationally.
Each vessel will measure in at 180 metres in length, with a beam of 43 metres. The deck will span 43 by 140 metres and offer cargo loading and discharging via stern or side using ro-ro or skidding methods.
James Jung, Director at CY Shipping, said:The introduction of the BC-Class vessels reflects our shared vision with BigLift Shipping: to set new benchmarks in heavy transport services. These vessels not only expand our operational reach but also reinforce our commitment to the market.
With the four BC-Class vessels, we’re not just adding capacity—we’re adding reliability, flexibility, redundancy, and a unified standard of excellence,” added Johan Boer, Commercial Director at BigLift Shipping. “This marks a significant step forward in our mission to deliver innovative heavy transport solutions worldwide.
