The new design is an evolution of the already state-of-the-art Superstar-class vessels, but with enhanced quality of transport for both rolling cargo and passengers in the Baltic Sea.
Since ammonia has a high specific gravity, VLAC cargo tanks and hulls need to be reinforced, and the vessels will have a deeper draught when fully loaded.
Developed in close cooperation with Damen, the tugboat follows previous world firsts such as the Hydrotug (hydrogen-driven) and the Methatug (methanol-driven).
MacGregor has secured an order from the Vertom group, a Netherlands-based shipowner and maritime service provider, to deliver fully electric cargo cranes for four multipurpose vessels.
