近日，德国船东TT-Line宣布，该公司与金陵船厂签署了一份新一代TT-Line绿色船舶合同，该订单预计将在2022年交付，并且包括一艘姊妹船的选择权。
该船拟在TT-Line的波罗的海航线中使用。
该船长230米，宽31米与上一代RoPax船相比，该船将进行优化，以提高效率和灵活性，在保持速度的同时，排放量将大幅减少50％以上。
这种双燃料船可由LNG（液化天然气）提供动力。与柴油燃料相比，LNG排放的二氧化碳更少，并且在没有烟雾的情况下燃烧。这导致颗粒物质的排放非常低。此外，燃烧的LNG几乎完全不含硫，并且产生非常低的氮氧化物排放。
“海运是最环保的货物运输方式。通过选择LNG作为新一代TT-Line绿色船舶的燃料，TT-Line将在减少有害排放方面树立新标准。这款创新且面向未来的TT-Line绿色船舶将成为我们交易领域中最环保的RoPax船舶。”TT-Line常务董事BernhardJ.Termühlen说。
新一代TT-Line船以TT-Line成功的绿色船舶概念为基础，能运载800名乘客和200多辆卡车。在设计船舶时，特别强调了港口的灵活性和快速周转时间。
“我们预计波罗的海内短途海运服务需求将持续增长。通过这项投资，我们可以更有效地响应客户的需求并支持他们的发展。同时，这艘船将为乘客提供现代化的旅行体验，将舒适性与最佳环保运输解决方案相结合，“TT-Line总经理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.
