The bulk carrier Golden Leo has sunk near the Ukrainian port of Odesa, one week after sustaining severe damage in a Russian strike while transporting grain through a designated maritime corridor.
Technology group Wärtsilä has been selected as the electrical integrator for a major battery extension project for the Wasaline ROPAX ferry ‘Aurora Botnia’.
The agreement includes basic and detail design for the “Next Generation Med” class vessels, which will be deployed across key Mediterranean routes under the Grimaldi Lines and Minoan Lines brands.
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.
The agreement is designed to ensure optimal performance of the power systems onboard the company’s new LNG-fuelled ‘A Galeotta’ RoPax vessel, which will sail between Marseille and Corsica in France.
