The new-builds are designed by Kongsberg (ex Rolls-Royce) and they will be in operation in the Baltic Sea and the North Sea in 2021. According to Terntank, the close cooperation with the customers and with the staff and crew has made it possible to further develop the environmentally friendly supply chains and to take the next steps towards carbon-neutral shipping.
With the AVIC SERIES 2.0 vessels, Terntank aims to continue as a forerunner in environmentally efficient and safe shipping. The protection of the marine environment and maritime safety have always been of top priority for Terntank, a family-owned company having its roots on the island of Donsö. Terntank was the first shipowner to order liquefied natural gas (LNG) powered product tankers in 2013.
The vessels will be developed from the experience of the previous AVIC SERIES with many additional innovative improvements to reduce environmental impacts. Terntank’s new vessels will significantly reduce the carbon footprint and environmental impacts in the supply chain with LBG/LNG powered engines, hybrid battery systems, and on-shore power.
Terntank strongly supports the greenhouse gas (GHG) reduction targets of the maritime sector. The next generation LBG/LNG powered product tankers will give a strong lead in reaching the GHG reduction goals of the International Maritime Organization (IMO).
The new-builds are capable to operate with liquefied biogas (LBG). The vessels will be equipped with new electric power supply system including battery pack, shore-power connection, and bow thruster drive (hybrid). Energy consumption and emissions are further reduced with the latest digital solutions for operational optimisation.
