Norwegian Wilh. Wilhelmsen has taken delivery of the roro ship Tønsberg from Mitsubishi Heavy Industries in Nagasaki, Japan. This is the first Mark V ship in a series of four ordered by Wilh. Wilhelmsen ASA and its partner Wallenius. The second vessel will be delivered in August and two in 2012.
The Mark V vessel is the largest of its kind, with a length of 265 metres offering a cargo volume of 138.000 cubic metres over six fixed and three hoistable decks.
”The Mark V will use 15 to 20 per cent less fuel per transported unit than its predecessors, thanks to a optimised hull form and a number of energy saving features such as the streamlined rudder design and duck tail. In the engine room an advanced turbo generator produces electricity from the waste, exhaust heat. In total, these initiatives help to cut emissions significantly”, the company says in a statement.
