Corvus Energy has been chosen by W\u00e4rtsil\u00e4 to supply energy storage systems (ESS) for Finnline\u2019s new battery hybrid ferries, which when completed should be among the most environmentally friendly Ro-Ro vessels in operation.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere is significant potential for fuel and emissions reduction in Ro-Ro ships as they are normally on fixed routes,\u201d said Roger Rosvold, Senior Vice President of Sales at Corvus Energy.<\/p>\n
\u201cFinnlines [has] invested heavily in technology for all their vessels to reduce emissions. Combined with a series of operational measures such as timetable planning and route optimization, as well as optimising speed, load and trim, Finnlines continues their progress towards sustainable operation of their fleet operations.\u201d<\/p>\n
Zero-emissions<\/strong><\/p>\n In addition to W\u00e4rtsil\u00e4\u2019s Hybrid Power Conversion system, which includes Corvus ESS that enables zero-emission operations in port, the vessels will be equipped with energy efficient engines, exhaust gas scrubbers and an innovative air lubrication system to reduce hull resistance.<\/p>\n All three ships will have the RINA\u2019s Green Plus class notation and are being designed for flexible Ro-Ro cargo.<\/p>\n The vessels\u2019 hulls are similar to those of the \u2018Grimaldi Green 5th Generation\u2019 vessels but are customised for Finnlines to meet its requirements for the highest Finnish\/Swedish ice class.<\/p>\n Finnlines new vessels will be built at Nanjing shipyard and are expected to be delivered in 2021.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Three new battery hybrid ferries are being built to help one operator clean up Ro-Ro cargo routes on the Baltic Sea.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":902,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[46],"tags":[],"sponsor":[],"class_list":["post-901","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-energy-technology-greenport"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/901","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/8"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=901"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/901\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":903,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/901\/revisions\/903"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/902"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=901"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=901"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=901"},{"taxonomy":"sponsor","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/sponsor?post=901"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
