Germany’s Bernd Sibum books four newbuilds at Damen

The family-owned shipping company’s debut order at Damen will see the so-called CF 3850 series delivered in early 2026. The ships have been designed to boost the sustainability, efficiency, and lifespan of Bernd Sibum’s fleet, the shipbuilder said.

The 3,850 dwt units will feature an “enhanced design platform”, offering a 30% improvement in fuel efficiency. In addition to being hybrid-ready, the ships can run on biofuel, be equipped with wind-assist technology, and sport a set of batteries used by the bow thruster for peak shaving and port operations, as well as readiness for an upgraded shore power connection.

“This investment is a major step toward decarbonisation, but we now also urge ports and the broader shipping industry to develop and implement the necessary shore-based infrastructure. We are confident these vessels will set a new market standard, both now and in the years to come,” said Bernd Sibum, managing director of Reederei Bernd Sibum.

The newbuilds will be constructed at Damen Yichang Shipyard in China and serve in the northwest European shortsea shipping market upon delivery.
