Swedish marine propulsion technology company Berg Propulsion has secured a contract to supply propulsion packages for six 7,000-dwt multi-purpose dry cargo vessels being built by Jiangsu Dajin Heavy Industry in China for UK shipowner and operator Carisbrooke Shipping.
The six vessels, designed by Dutch naval architecture firm Groot Ship Design, are scheduled for delivery between the third quarter of 2027 and the first quarter of 2029.
Measuring 110 meters in length and 15.45 meters in breadth, the ships are based on a modified Groot 6600 XL design that increases deadweight capacity above 7,000 tonnes while keeping gross tonnage below 5,000.
Under the contract, Berg Propulsion will provide each vessel with its MPP950 main propulsion system, including a gearbox, shaft alternator, MPC800M remote-control system and Dynamic Drive adaptive thrust and fuel optimisation software.
The MPC800M and Dynamic Drive systems are designed to calculate the most fuel-efficient balance between engine speed and propeller blade angle across different operating conditions and power modes.
The award expands Berg Propulsion’s relationship with Jiangsu Dajin, which named the company Supplier of the Year in both 2024 and 2025. The companies subsequently signed an extended collaboration agreement.
Berg Propulsion has supplied systems for around 106 vessels built
