Kongsberg Maritime will work with Tärntank to design and equip its eleventh hybrid chemical tanker, which will be wind-assisted.
According to Kongsberg, this latest order brings the total of vessels ordered by Tärntank to 11, with the latest five featuring wind-assist technology. The new 15,000 dwt vessels are equipped with a range of advanced Kongsberg Maritime technologies aimed at energy conservation and emission reduction.
These hybrid tankers can operate on diesel, biofuel, or methanol and are equipped with wind-assist technology and Tärntank’s proprietary battery-powered Hybrid Solution. The wind-assist feature, set to be installed on the latest five vessels, is projected to cut emissions by up to 19%.
