Havila adds Climeon option to Tersan orders

The Heat Power systems are to be delivered during 2021 and 2022. The first two vessels will be prepared to install Climeon plants during operation upon delivery from the shipyard, while the third and fourth vessels will have an operational Climeon plant installed before delivery from the shipyard.

The Climeon Heat Power System uses waste heat from the engines to heat the vessel but also to generate clean electricity, reducing the vessel’s fuel consumption.

The four ships are based on a Havyard 923 design, and 124.1 meters long, 22 meters wide and able to carry 640 passengers. The four cruise ferries will all be built at Turkey’s Tersan yard, following Havila’s decision to consolidate the construction of the sisterships at the Turkish yard in February.

The ships will be powered by a hybrid LNG (liquefied natural gas) and battery system. The battery packs will allow the ships to sail without noise and emissions for up to four hours. Once the ships enter service from 2021, they will serve the coastal route between Bergen and Kirkenes in northern Norway.
