FINNECO II, the second of three roro vessels in the Eco class was delivered at the China Merchants Jinling Shipyard (Jiangsu) in China on 30 May 2022. The vessel will enter Finnlines’ Biscay line, where it will join the sister vessel, FINNECO I.
The construction of Finnlines’ second new hybrid ro-ro vessel –FINNECO II– started at the Chinese Nanjing Jinling shipyard. The first steel plates were cut in the traditional steel cutting ceremony on 16 September 2020.
Finnlines’ ongoing EUR 500 million newbuilding program, which includes three green hybrid ro-ro vessels as well as two eco-friendly Superstar ro-pax vessels, will further increase Finnlines’ energy efficiency.
In addition to lithium-ion battery banks, which enable ‘zero emissions in port’, they will be equipped with several advanced technologies to save energy and thus reduce emissions further.
The ro-ro vessels are expected to be delivered during 2021–2022 and the Superstar ro-pax vessels are set to start in traffic in 2023.
