Successful launch of the Thun Response

The Thun Response was launched on 30 May 2026 at a celebratory event held at the shipyard in Leer, Germany.

Resource-efficiƫnt schip

The Thun Response is the fifth of eight ‘R-Class’ sister ships to be built by the Ferus Smit BV shipyard. Designed with a focus on resource efficiency and environmental friendliness, the vessel is to be chartered by Circle K upon delivery. 

Its innovative design features adaptive propulsion, shore power connectivity, a UPS battery pack, and state-of-the-art, resource-efficient machinery.
