Finnlines' second new ro-ro unit underway


The next steps in the production of Finnlines’ second new hybrid ro-ro vessel have begun at the Chinese Nanjing Jinling shipyard. The first steel plate was cut in the traditional steel cutting ceremony in mid-September 2020.

 

The liner’s ongoing EUR 500 million newbuilding programme, which includes three green hybrid Ro-Ro vessels as well as two eco-friendly Superstar RoPax vessels, will further increase Finnlines’ fleet with "green efficiency".

 

One feature amongst others are the lithium-ion battery banks, which enable ‘zero emissions in port’, they will be equipped with several advanced technologies to save energy and thus reduce emissions further.

 

The ro-ro vessels are expected to be delivered during 2021–2022 and the Superstar ro-pax vessels are set to start in traffic in 2023. (mw)
