Stena RoRo places order for yet another E-Flexer RoPax vessel
The E-Flexer series is based on a concept with larger vessels than today's standard RoPax ferries, and is very flexible. Each ship is tailored to the customers' needs, both commercially and technically. Optimized design of the hull, propellers and rudders help to ensure that the E-Flexer vessels are at the forefront when it comes to sustainability, performance and cost.
The vessels' engines are of the multi-fuel type and can run on LNG, conventional marine fuel (MGO) or biodiesel. The vessels have been designed in line with future environmental requirements and, through their technical design, can meet both existing and future international requirements by a wide margin. The vessels will be designed with the classification society notation "Battery power" which means that in the future the vessels will also be able to utilize batteries as a means of propulsion.
"This ship is a further development of our previous RoPax concepts, where the focus on sustainability and future-proofing has been a top priority," says Per Westling , Managing Director, Stena RoRo . "Through the further development and optimization of the hull shape in combination with multi-fuel engines and battery hybrid technology, ordering new vessels will be the most important and powerful measure to reduce CO2 emissions from shipping in the future".
Stena RoRo currently has 13 confirmed orders for E-Flexer vessels, as well as two so-called "New Max" RoRo vessels, at the CMI Jinling shipyard in Weihai, China . A total of six vessels will now be under construction at the shipyard at the same time. Thus far, nine vessels have been delivered.
