Wedoany.com Report-Nov 5, Utkilen revealed in a brief social media update that the ship named Listraum was launched on November 2.
“The ship will be delivered with LNG tanks installed, reflecting our commitment to green shipping as LNG (liquefied natural gas) significantly reduces emissions by cutting sulfur, nitrogen oxide, and carbon dioxide, making it a cleaner, more environmentally friendly fuel choice for maritime transport,” Utkilen said.
Listraum is one of four 6,700 dwt chemical tankers Utkilen has on order at the Turkish shipyard. The vessels will be delivered from 2024 onwards to operate in the Baltics and the North Sea.
The four ships will be equipped with multifuel engines, optimized hull shape, and battery and shore power connections as part of Utkilen’s strategy to meet decarbonization goals.
Norwegian integrated automation and energy specialist Høglund Marine Solutions is delivering a complete integrated solution featuring automation and power management, hybrid-electric, digital and fuel gas supply systems (FGSS) to power the ships.
