20 Sep 2025 Evaluate

Garden Reach Shipbuilders & Engineers (GRSE) has signed a contract with Germany’s Carsten Rehder Schiffsmakler and Reederei GmbH & Co. KG in Hamburg, Germany, for the construction of four Hybrid Multi-Purpose Vessels (MPVs) at a total value of $62.44 million. This agreement represents a natural extension of the successful partnership between GRSE and Carsten Rehder, following the ongoing 7,500 DWT Multi-Purpose Vessel (MPV) project currently under execution in Kolkata.

GRSE has ventured into construction of these four Hybrid Propulsion MPVs with a provision of additional two vessels of Hybrid propulsion type. This milestone underscores the shipyard’s expanding global footprint in commercial & green shipbuilding. The newly contracted Hybrid MPVs will incorporate state-of-the-art battery-assisted hybrid propulsion systems, enhanced fuel efficiency, and flexible cargo handling capabilities, making them well-aligned with International Maritime Organization (IMO) decarbonization goals. 

These MPVs will be 120 metres long and 17 metres wide, with a maximum draft of 6.75 metres. The vessels are designed to carry 7,500 metric tonnes of cargo in a single large cargo hold, capable of accommodating bulk, general, and project cargoes. Containers can also be carried on hatch covers. A unique design feature of these ships is their ability to transport multiple large windmill blades on deck, catering specifically to the growing renewable energy logistics sector.

Garden Reach Shipbuilders & Engineers is a shipbuilding company in India under the administrative control of the MoD and primarily adhere to the shipbuilding requirements of the Indian Navy and the Indian Coast Guard.
