Fleet presentation
In 2023, three vessels were purchased, the two Horizon class vessels Höegh Tracer and Höegh Trapper, and Höegh Berlin with capacity of 7 850 CEU. In addition, a purchase option for Höegh Jacksonville, a Category 1 vessel, was declared in October 2023.
The Company’s deep sea network is now fully covered by owned vessels or long-term charters with attractive purchase options, supplemented by a limited use of space charters. A diversified and large fleet allows for economies of scale, as well as efficient and flexible services across the deep sea trade routes. With a current fleet with average carrying capacity of ~6 800 CEU, Höegh Autoliners has the largest average vessel size and lowest emissions within the car carrier industry.
