Swiss marine power company WinGD's Variable Compression Ratio (VCR) technology is to be trialled by global shipping line CMA CGM onboard one of the company's vessels.
Vessels will receive clean, grid-powered electricity under the port’s renewable energy tariff while berthed at Albert Quay and Means Quay in the port’s North Harbour.
After Mexico and Brazil, Colombia will be the third country in Latin America that is able to build these types of complex naval vessels under license at its own shipyards.
Tune Chemical Tankers (TCT), which also is a part of Tersan Group will be the owner of the vessels. The contract also includes an option for two additional vessels.
