Baltic Shipping Company A\/S has welcomed two new vessels, M\/V Baltic Iron and M\/V Baltic Timber, strengthening its fleet with two next-generation coasters featuring wind-assisted propulsion and battery technology. <\/strong><\/p>\n

Both 3,550 DWT vessels are equipped with two Econowind VentoFoils, expected to reduce fuel consumption by up to 12%.<\/p>\n

Both vessels are also fitted with large battery packs, making them genuine hybrid vessels. M\/V Baltic Timber was the first of the two vessels to enter service and has now been joined by sister vessel M\/V Baltic Iron. Both vessels are now in commercial operation under the company\u2019s management.<\/p>\n

The arrival of the two vessels enables Baltic Shipping Company to respond to customers with a strong focus on reducing their transport-related CO\u2082 emissions. The company can now offer them access to a new generation of more energy-efficient coaster vessels.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are very proud to welcome Baltic Iron and Baltic Timber to our fleet,\u201d said Ronnie Hulstr\u00f8m, CEO of Baltic Shipping Company A\/S. \u201cHaving recently visited Baltic Iron, I am deeply impressed by both the vessel and the technology installed on board. The combination of VentoFoils and a large battery pack represents an important step towards more energy-efficient shipping. It demonstrates what can already be achieved with technologies available today.\u201d<\/p>\n

The VentoFoils use wind to generate additional thrust, reducing the power required from the main engine and thereby lowering fuel consumption and associated CO\u2082 emissions. Combined with the vessels\u2019 battery technology, the system provides Baltic Shipping Company with a practical way to improve energy efficiency and reduce emissions in daily operations.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur customers are increasingly focused on reducing the CO\u2082 emissions associated with their transport,\u201d Hulstr\u00f8m added. \u201cWith Baltic Iron and Baltic Timber, we can offer them modern coaster capacity that supports these ambitions. It is a practical step that supports both our customers and our long-term commitment to more sustainable shipping operations.\u201d<\/p>\n

With the Damen-built Baltic Iron and Baltic Timber now in service, Baltic Shipping Company has strengthened its fleet with two modern, energy-efficient vessels for the European shortsea market.<\/p>\n

Baltic Shipping Company A\/S is a Danish maritime company specializing in European short-sea shipping. With around 95 dry cargo vessels under commercial management and charter, the company provides chartering, ship management, vessel operations, project cargo and port services across Europe.<\/p>\n
