Keel laying ceremony held at Hyundai Mipo Dockyard for CLdN’s second G9 ro-ro
Ro-roHyundai Mipo Dockyard held the keel-laying ceremony of the second of CLdN’s newbuild G9e ro-ro vessel at the shipyard in Ulsan, South Korea. The 234-metre new ship is the second of two vessels currently on order and will be equipped with two conventional main engines as well as two large shaft generators of 6 MW each, which can be used for generating power or for electric propulsion.
The vessels have a high degree of flexibility, allowing for a seamless integration of new fuels, fuel cells and/or battery technology in the future. Compared with CLdN’s largest vessels currently in operation (CELINE and DELPHINE), the new ships will further reduce CO2 emissions by 40% while having the same cargo capacity.
The delivery of the two vessels is scheduled for the first half of 2025.
