Seaboard Marine proudly announces the arrival of a new liquefied natural gas (LNG)-powered container and refrigerated cargo vessel, the Seaboard Voyager. With a capacity of 3,500 TEU, including over 1,000 onboard refrigerated container plugs, the Seaboard Voyager is the first in Seaboard Marine’s new V-Class fleet. The company also revealed plans for seven additional dual LNG ships scheduled for delivery over the next fifteen months.
The Seaboard Voyager sets a new standard for environmental responsibility by utilizing LNG, a cleaner fuel that significantly reduces emissions and minimizes the company’s carbon footprint. With impressive cargo and cutting-edge technology, the Seaboard Voyager is designed to provide faster transit times and enhance Seaboard Marine’s ability to transport more cargo efficiently between ports.
“We are excited to announce that the Seaboard Voyager has joined our fleet” said Eddie Gonzalez, President and CEO of Seaboard Marine. “This new fuel-efficient vessel represents the next chapter in Seaboard Marine’s history of market leadership and exceptional customer service by providing increased cargo capacity and reliability. The Seaboard Voyager is a testament to our dedication to growth and meeting the evolving needs of our customers.”
The Seaboard Voyager will enter a port rotation including Colon, Panama; Rio Haina, Dominican Republic; Kingston, Jamaica; Philadelphia, PA; and Brooklyn, NY. The Seaboard Voyager is the first of eight new LNG-fueled ships to be delivered by the end of 2025, joining Seaboard Marine’s network operating seamlessly between North America, the Caribbean Basin, and Central and South America. This new addition significantly enhances the company’s extensive maritime operations, strategically connecting ports and businesses throughout the Caribbean Basin.
