TT-Line takes delivery of second LNG ferry

The new ferry Peter Pan follows the earlier delivery of Nils Holgersson in March this year. The new ferry is expected to enter scheduled service in the middle of the first quarter of 2023.

The vessels are the first ferries in the southern Baltic Sea to be able to run on LNG and are approved for the use of bio-LNG.

They also feature an energy-efficient air conditioning system ensures minimal energy consumption, an engine heat recovery system saves additional energy, LED light sources, which reduce power consumption by 80% and ensure a tenfold longer service life. The optimized hull, including a specially designed bulbous bow, also improves fuel consumption.

Special shaft seals with additional air chambers prevent water contamination from lubricating oil. Extensive waste management conserves resources and only environmentally friendly cooling water additives and cleaning agents are used. Plastic products are avoided as far as possible. More than 90% of the technology in the new Green Ships is provided by European suppliers.

The loading and unloading times have been optimised for the new ferries. A newly developed software system ensures faster processing as well as shorter lay times overall, which saves 15% of energy.
