Montfort Maritime has officially marked a major milestone with the delivery of its first-ever newbuilding, the Montfort Maritime Jazz (MFM Jazz). This 63,500 DWT Ultramax vessel, constructed at Jiangsu Haitong Shipyard, represents a significant step forward for the company. The MFM Jazz has been delivered under a long-term time charter, reaffirming Montfort Maritime’s strategy to build a sustainable, future-ready fleet while aligning with its trading and Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) vision.
MFM Jazz: A Model of Efficiency and Sustainability
The MFM Jazz exemplifies Montfort Maritime’s commitment to operational excellence and sustainability. Designed with efficiency in mind, the vessel boasts a fuel consumption of just 20 tonnes per day—20% less than conventional vessels of its size. This reduction in fuel consumption highlights Montfort’s ongoing efforts to minimize its environmental impact and enhance the eco-efficiency of its fleet. By prioritizing sustainability, Montfort ensures long-term value creation and aligns its operations with global environmental standards.
Maiden Voyage to Support Global Infrastructure and Renewable Energy Projects
The MFM Jazz is set to embark on its maiden voyage, carrying a sophisticated general cargo including windmill blades and steel from China to Europe. This important journey will not only contribute to the development of renewable energy infrastructure but also support broader global infrastructure projects. The vessel’s cargo is critical to advancing sustainable energy initiatives, underscoring Montfort Maritime’s role in facilitating the transition to greener energy solutions and contributing to the global push for carbon neutrality.
The First of Many: Montfort’s Commitment to Expanding Its Eco-Efficient Fleet
The delivery of the MFM Jazz is just the beginning for Montfort Maritime. The company has ambitious plans to expand its fleet, with additional eco-efficient, gas-powered newbuildings set to join the fleet by the end of 2026. Starting next year, Montfort-branded vessels will become a prominent presence on global trade routes, further cementing Montfort Maritime’s role in international shipping. With a focus on high-performance and environmentally conscious shipping solutions, the company is paving the way for a more sustainable future in global transport.
