The 212 meter long, 50,000 grt MyStar is the biggest vessel to day that RMC has actually consented to develop.
MALE Energy Solutions is to provide the engines for the 2,800 traveler LNG-fueled ferryboat gotten by Estonia’s Tallink Grupp for the Tallinn– Helsinki shuttle bus course course (see earlier tale).
The ship, the MyStar, gets on order at Finnish shipbuilder Rauma Marine Constructions (RMC) for distribution in very early 2022.
It will certainly be powered by a diesel electrical plant based upon 5 MALE 51/60DF dual-fuel major engines.
Lex Nijsen, Head of Four-Stroke Marine Sales, MALE Energy Solutions stated: “Finland is always such an innovative market and it’s very pleasing to land this order. This agreement marks the second car and passenger ferry for RMC this year and we are very pleased that they have chosen to go with our 51/60DF units this time. The engines performed strongly on the test bed, showcasing such characteristic advantages as load behavior and pure gas start, which ultimately led Tallink to choose MAN.”
Jyrki Heinimaa, Chief Executive Officer, Rauma Marine Constructions stated: “Compared to Tallink’s newest shuttle ferry, Megastar, which also operates between Helsinki and Tallinn, the MyStar’s design – featuring the MAN main drivers – will reduce the ferry’s emissions even further.”
Nijsen included “This is the second agreement we have made for the 51/60DF within a short period of time in the Baltic after TT-Line placed its RoPax order earlier this year. With this new order, we are really putting the 51/60DF – and MAN engines in general – in the shop window at a time when the Finnish market has many interesting projects underway. We look forward to the future with confidence.”
