Launch of CLdN’s G9 ro-ro CHAUMINE at Hyundai Mipo Dockyard
Ro-roCHAUMINE was floated in dry-dock and moved to a berth where the final stages of her construction will be completed in the coming weeks. CHAUMINE is the first of two G9 ro-ro vessels currently on order for CLdN at Hyundai Mipo Dockyard.
The 234-metre CHAUMINE is the first 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.
