In a major development, MV Traviata, the second of a series of Post-Panamax HERO vessels, has joined Wallenius Wilhelmsen’s ocean fleet, reports Sea News.
Key Features of the Vessel
- A highly energy-efficient RoRo vessel with industry-leading capabilities has joined Wallenius Wilhelmsen’s fleet of Neo-Panamax vessels.
- With a capacity equivalent to 8,000 cars and electrically hoistable deck panels, MV Traviata is the second of a series of four Post-Panamax HERO vessels with a combined capacity of 24,000 car equivalent units (CEUs).
Vessel in Operation Setting Benchmark
“Traviata’s sister Titus, the first vessel of this HERO class, has now been in operation for 10 months and proven that all design efforts have paid off,” says Michael Hynekamp, Wallenius Wilhelmsen Ocean’s COO.
“The vessel class is setting a new benchmark in terms of energy efficiency, improving consumption with approximately 15%, resulting in considerably reduced emission levels compared to similar vessels in the global fleet.”
