This week roro vessel HATCHE has been acquired by Polish Ocean Lines and renamed POL STELLA.
She is actually on charter with Stena Line, on the Europoort – Killingholme route.
Sister vessel QEZBAN already joined the POL-fleet in September 2020, as POL MARIS.
Pierre Antoine Villanova, Corsica Linea’s CEO, posted on LinkedIn a picture and a message announcing his visit at the Italian shipyard Cantiere Navale Visentini in Porto Viro (Rovigo).
“Our new ship starts to get the colours of the Corsica Linea family. This is our environmental transition in action!”
“How far we have come since the creation of the company 5 years ago!”
Length: 206m.
Lane metres: 2.560m with extra deck for 150 cars.
On 14 July, the European Commission published its so-called “Fit for 55”-package, a package of proposals which should help deliver on the European Climate Law target to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in the EU by at least 55% by 2030, and enable climate neutrality by 2050.
The European Sea Ports Organisation (ESPO) welcomes the new “Fit for 55”-proposals as an important first step towards reaching the European Green Deal ambition and the 2030 and 2050 goals enshrined in the EU Climate Law.
“For Europe’s ports it is essential to ultimately achieve a policy that is effective in reducing emissions, is coherent, keeps an eye on the competitiveness of Europe’s port sector, is future-proof and does not create stranded assets or additional administrative burden for ports. It should take the diversity of the European port and maritime sector into due consideration,” says ESPO’s Secretary General Isabelle Ryckbost.
“As a starting point, the “Fit for 55” programme looks very reasonable, and we feel that we have been heard,” says Executive Director of Security, Environment and Maritime Research, Maria Skipper Schwenn.
“If the EU plays its cards right, the tariffs in the proposal could be used to put pressure on the global CO2-prices at the IMO, and consequently contribute to creating unified, international solutions,” says Maria Skipper Schwenn.
