MV Baltazar, the third vessel in the CABU III newbuild series, was successfully launched from dry dock at Yangzijiang Shipbuilding Holdings on 14 Apr 2026. The ship features bound4blue suction sails at the bow, marking the company's initial move into wind-assisted propulsion. Baltazar is designed to replace first-generation CABU vessels, offering improved performance, higher earnings capacity, and a reduced carbon footprint. Following the launch, the vessel will undergo final outfitting and sea trials, with delivery expected in summer 2026. The launch represents a significant milestone in the newbuild program, supported by the dedicated efforts of the KCC site team throughout construction.
