BBC Chartering said that its fifth Lakermax newbuild multipurpose vessel, BBC Santiago, successfully passed sea trials last week.
The vessel has the same specifications as its four preceding sisterships: a pair of Liebherr LS-250 cranes capable of lifting up to 500 tonnes in tandem, 26,000 cu m of space under deck, and a 2,800 sq m unobstructed weather deck. The vessel is also certified to sail open hatch.
BBC Santiago is expected to enter service just before Christmas.
