Heinen & Hopman awarded the contract to supply the HVAC and refrigeration for TT-Line newbuild

Heinen & Hopman was awarded the contract to supply the HVAC and refrigeration for a 230M RoPax ferry, to be built for TT-Line. TT-Line possesses six ferries operating in the Baltic Sea. Expecting a growing demand for short sea transport in the Baltic Sea, TT-Line decided to invest in its fleet to meet their customers’ needs by offering a modern and comfortable journey. TT-Line’s newest ferry will be powered by LNG but will be able to run on diesel as well. The ferry has 50% less emissions compared to the previous generation of vessels.

CSC Jinling Shipyard

The ferry will be built at Jinling Shipyard, located in Jiangsu, China. Being one of the world’s 40 largest shipyards, the yard builds a wide range of vessels, including RoRo vessels, RoPax vessels, PCTC,tankers, carriers and floating docks. Heinen & Hopman China has a long-lasting relationship with the yard, dating back to 2001.
