VIDEO: Wallenius Wilhelmsen welcomes new HERO vessel MV Tannhauser
MV Tannhauser is an advanced vessel with operational and environmental efficiencies.
The Covid-19 pandemic has presented many challenges this year, but it has also fostered a great spirit of imagination and innovation – and the virtual naming ceremony of MV Tannhauser was no exception.
Craig Jasienski, Wallenius Wilhelmsen’s CEO, in his welcoming address from the Oslo offices, said:
‘We turned a challenge into an opportunity to do something new, which has allowed everyone to participate. This year has been challenging, but we have responded well and this is the spirit we want to continue with.”
Boasting 13 liftable decks to accommodate different types of cargo, a wider stern ramp for a safer, more efficient flow of traffic, an optimised hull for reduced fuel consumption and digital navigation aids, MV Tannhauser is designed to provide operational and environmental efficiencies.
Jasienski says:
“Given Tannhauser’s technology and capabilities, she will not only help to service our customers, but will also help to contribute to the target set by IMO of 40% reduced emissions by 2030.”
He adds that Wallenius Wilhelmsen has already achieved a significant 35% output reduction in CO2 emissions per tonne/km on its ships.
