New future-fuel-ready standard vessel designs
Conoship International presents its new innovative, future-proof and environmentally friendly general cargo vessel’ CIP-Series
The CIP-series
The beauty of Conoship’s approach lies in its flexibility, as it offers customers the opportunity to build their general cargo vessels in a shipyard of their choosing as well. A switch of fuel type to future fuels such as liquid hydrogen or ammonia is facilitated by smart arrangement design, where the requirements of the future fuels have been taken into account from the beginning of the conceptual design process.
Whether the client seeks the renowned craftsmanship of Groningen, the cost-effectiveness of India, or the specialization of Turkish shipyards, Conoship facilitates a seamless collaboration between the client and the chosen shipyard, resulting in the construction of vessels that optimise excellence.
The CIP-Series are designed to be ready for the future. To stay at the forefront of developments in Maritime Technology and to apply the latest innovations, Conoship has a strong focus on research and development. The company’s goal is to spot, develop and create new knowledge, innovations and possible applications for the Maritime Industry to provide clients with the best possible solutions. Conoship provides a future-proof solution and creative input so our clients can respond to a fast-changing regulatory framework.

Advantages of a standard general cargo vessel
Value for money
By designing and building for a specific market and standardising certain ship types, product innovations can be introduced more easily and with less risk. So, investing in a standard design has financial benefits as the design package is more affordable. The reviews of the first customers of our CIP general cargo vessels confirm our expectations as the first vessels are flying over the water. You can find the reviews further down.
Future-proof
The fuel consumption of the vessels in the CIP-series will be best in class, with its well-thought-out diesel-electric propulsion system, enlarged propeller in combination with a ConoDuctTail® and optimised hull lines. To further improve its performance, the design is ready for wind-assisted propulsion, as it is prepared for the placement of Econowind VentoFoils®, which would reduce fuel consumption and CO₂ emissions by about 10%, depending on the sailing route.
Reduced delivery time
Standardisation of the design speeds up the delivery time. Opting for a standard design of the CIP series reduces the delivery time, because the design and processes have already been prepared. Additionally, we are continuously working on improving the efficiency of our standardised designs to further reduce delivery times. Feel free to reach out to us to get an indication of the timeliness of your delivery.
Flexible supply chain
As a customer, you always have the option of having Conoships’ standard design ship built at a shipyard of your choice.

Voices of trust
”When we started looking at the future of general cargo vessels, the CIP3600 was a strong proposal. We were impressed with the research that had gone into the design, from modern building techniques to features regarding the vessel’s operation. It was also important to us that the design balanced practicality with the long-view over the vessel’s lifetime, allowing for flexibility regarding the future fuel innovations and changes in emissions legislation.”
”With these new vessels, Hartel Shipping will position its fleet at the forefront of sustainability in the short-sea market. We can meet any logistical challenge with these three vessels, we are ready to embark on the future.”
”We chose the Conoship CIP3600 design for our new build vessels as wel feel this is the next generation low air-draft coasters. The design combines the knowledge from the past regarding the niche market of sea-river going coasters, with a future-proof vision regarding emissions. The vessel takes a big step in emission reduction, and its modular design opens possibilities towards zero emissions in the future. The specific and academic ship-designing knowledge available at Conoship, combines with input by ‘end users’ like us, has led to a terrific product”
