近日，德國船東TT-Line宣布，該公司與金陵船廠簽署了一份新一代TT-Line綠色船舶合同，該訂單預計將在2022年交付，并且包括一艘姊妹船的選擇權。
該船擬在TT-Line的波羅的海航線中使用。
該船長230米，寬31米與上一代RoPax船相比，該船將進行優化，以提高效率和靈活性，在保持速度的同時，排放量將大幅減少50％以上。
這種雙燃料船可由LNG（液化天然氣）提供動力。與柴油燃料相比，LNG排放的二氧化碳更少，并且在沒有煙霧的情況下燃燒。這導致顆粒物質的排放非常低。此外，燃燒的LNG幾乎完全不含硫，并且產生非常低的氮氧化物排放。
“海運是最環保的貨物運輸方式。通過選擇LNG作為新一代TT-Line綠色船舶的燃料，TT-Line將在減少有害排放方面樹立新標準。這款創新且面向未來的TT-Line綠色船舶將成為我們交易領域中最環保的RoPax船舶。”TT-Line常務董事BernhardJ.Termühlen說。
新一代TT-Line船以TT-Line成功的綠色船舶概念為基礎，能運載800名乘客和200多輛卡車。在設計船舶時，特別強調了港口的靈活性和快速周轉時間。
“我們預計波羅的海內短途海運服務需求將持續增長。通過這項投資，我們可以更有效地響應客戶的需求并支持他們的發展。同時，這艘船將為乘客提供現代化的旅行體驗，將舒適性與最佳環保運輸解決方案相結合，“TT-Line總經理Hanns H. Conzen表示。
TT-Line signs contract for new Green Ships
TT-Line have signed a contract for one new TT-Line Green Ship. The planned delivery will be during 2022, with an optional order for one further vessel. The contract was awarded to the Chinese shipyard Jiangsu Jinling. The ship is intended to be used within TT-Line’s route network in the Baltic Sea.
This vessel will be optimized for efficiency and flexibility and will have a length of 230 m and a breadth of 31m. Compared to the previous generation of RoPax vessels, TT-Line’s Green Ship will reduce significantly more than 50% emissions while still maintaining the speed.
The forward-looking dual fuel ship can be powered by LNG (liquefied natural gas). In comparison with diesel fuel, LNG emits less carbon dioxide and burns without smoke. This leads to very low emissions of particulate matter. Furthermore burning LNG is almost entirely free of sulphur and produces very low emissions of nitrogen oxide.
“Sea transportation is the most environmentally efficient way of moving goods. TT-Line will set a new standard in terms of cutting harmful emissions by choosing LNG as a fuel for the innovative TT-Line Green Ship. This innovative and future-oriented TT-Line Green Ship will be the most environmentally friendly RoPax ship in our trading area,” says Bernhard J. Termühlen, Managing Director of TT-Line.
The new TT-Line vessel builds on the successful Green Ship concept of the company and is designed to carry 800 passengers and more than 200 trucks and trailers. While designing the vessel, a particular emphasize was put on flexibility and fast turnarounds in ports.
“We foresee a continued demand growth for short sea services within the Baltic Sea. With this investment we can respond even more effectively to the needs of our customers and support them to grow. At the same time this ship will offer a modern travel experience for our passengers in combining comfort with the best environmentally friendly transport solution”, says Hanns H. Conzen, Managing Director of TT-Line.
