The latest addition to Amer Shipping's fleet in Raamsdonksveer is dry-cargo vessel 'Adriana Maria', a multi-purpose ship, even at low water levels.

The 110-metre vessel can also carry 200 tonnes more cargo compared to similar vessels. During the official sea trial on 8 February, the high expectations were met: the hull design scores excellently in terms of fuel consumption versus speed: the vessel had a speed of 20 km per hour at a fuel consumption of 230 litres per hour.
