Advanced ro-ro cargoship design unveiled by Wallenius and Knud E Hansen partnership
- New shortsea ro-ro cargoship design features a dual-fuel electric propulsion system for reduced emissions and azipods for enhanced manoeuvrability
- Concept has provision for wing sails, shore power and alternative fuel sources such as batteries and fuel cells
- Design builds on Sleipner vehicle carrier concept which led to an order for two 6,500 ceu ships that were delivered in 2024
Shortsea ro-ro trades need new tonnage to meet not just capacity needs, but also demands for improved energy efficiency and reduced emissions
