Newbuild vessels

The newbuild vessels, Navios Utmost and Navios Unite were officially named at a naming ceremony at the Changhong shipyard in Zhoushan, China. DP World said this was as the company continued to test alternative fuels and monitor the availability of fuel supplies.

Sapphire 5300

Both vessels are Sapphire 5300 compact gearless container vessels, which feature cutting-edge maritime technologies designed to enhance cargo handling efficiency, reduce operational costs and contribute to a more sustainable maritime industry.

The vessel’s hull optimisation and energy-saving technologies are also designed to maximise fuel efficiency and minimise their carbon footprint.

Expand supply chain

For example, the Navios Utmost is expected to save approximately 1 700 metric tonnes of bunker fuel annually, leading to 15% to 20% reduction in its carbon emissions for its intended routes.

The compact design also allowor greater manoeuvrability and access to smaller ports, including inland terminals, opening new opportunities to expand supply chain networks.
