Vessel Description

ECO PONENTE is a modern short-sea cargo vessel built in 2024 and sailing under the French flag. As part of the ECO series, the vessel is designed with an emphasis on reduced environmental impact, incorporating dual-fuel capability to operate on LNG as well as conventional marine gas oil (MGO), significantly reducing SOx, NOx, and CO2 emissions compared to conventional cargo vessels of similar size.

The vessel's name "Ponente" refers to the westerly wind in Mediterranean nautical tradition, consistent with naming conventions used across the ECO-series fleet. With a deadweight of approximately 7,850 tonnes and a length of nearly 120 metres, ECO PONENTE is suited for general cargo, unitised cargo, and short-sea trade routes along European coastlines. Her design reflects compliance with the latest EU and IMO environmental regulations, including EEDI Phase III standards applicable to newbuildings delivered from 2022 onwards.
