Renewing Fleet
The experience from the success of Cornelius have contributed to this new design, with larger cargo capacity, lower fuel consumption and low-emission technologies. There will be a Hybrid Battery for peak shaving, both for Main engine and Aux engines and safety backup. The vessel will also feature a Gas Combustion Unit of 27,7 MW that will enable the vessel to perform cool-down and warming-up services to other vessels’ fuel tanks or cargo tanks. A service that the market has been waiting for.
Together with GASUM, we’re taking another step forward in renewingthe Sirius fleet – For our colleagues, customers and the environment. These new vessels, designed by Sirius in collaboration with FKAB, will provide the highest levels of sustainability, efficiency and safety. The vessels are also designed for excellent working conditions and comfortable living quarters for our Crew – since this is The Sirius Way!
“Ship owners are now seeing that switching to LNG and bio-LNG is one of the best ways of reducing emissions in maritime logistics already today, instead of waiting for other technologies that have not yet reached maturity or the required scale or infrastructure. This state-of-the-art bunker vessel is an important investment in our ability to continue to deliver the quality service our customers expect from us now and in the future.” said Gasum CEO Mika Wiljanen.
