ELKENZ MARITIME LOGISTICS has proudly announced the addition of M/V PERA to their growing fleet. This fully owned and operated vessel, formerly known as MV HOLLUM, is set to make waves in the industry. With its impeccable credentials and capabilities, M/V PERA is poised to become a valuable asset for the company.
M/V PERA, a 2008-built 6,000 deadweight tonnage (dwt) box-shaped tween deck vessel, comes equipped with two 60-tonne cranes (a combined capacity of 120 tonnes). This vessel has long been recognized by shippers for its reliability and performance. Its maiden voyage, scheduled to commence around September 10th from Marmara, will take it to the Western Mediterranean, opening up exciting possibilities for ELKENZ and its clients.
Besim Buzluk, a spokesperson for ELKENZ, expressed the company’s pride in this milestone, stating, “ELKENZ is very proud of this significant step in the company’s development. M/V PERA is the 11th vessel in the ELKENZ fleet, and our mission is to continue to build a reputation with clients as a great company to partner with, offering a focused personal service with an experienced and enthusiastic team of people working in partnership with shippers to provide a reliable value-based service.”
Juştin Archard of One World Shipbrokers, Elkenz’s exclusive North Continent agent, also commented on this development, saying, “This is a great step for ELKENZ. It underlines their commitment and ambition in the European breakbulk MPP tramp market. The introduction of this new vessel will offer clients an increased opportunity to work with a company they may not be familiar with yet, but with a fleet of 11 x MPP’s trading in European waters, ELKENZ is fast becoming a significant presence and offers clients a reliable and value-based breakbulk shipping option.”
