Facts – the IMOIIMAX concept
IMOIIMAX is a further development of an already well-established concept. The innovative technical design was developed by Stena Teknik together with the shipyard GSI. It offers numerous advantages such as extra large cargo flexibility, a high level of safety and low fuel consumption – 10-20% lower than that of equivalent vessels when sailing at service speed.
