The Sleipner concept is developed for Pure Car & Truck Carrier (PCTC)<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The Sleipner concept is created with decades of shipbuilding expertise and a combination of cutting-edge solutions, aiming to take significant steps towards more sustainable shipping. When Wallenius Marine and KNUD E. HANSEN developed the Sleipner ship design concept the Naval Architects took the degree of innovation to the next level.<\/p>\n

It is more than fuel choices. The design itself plays a big part in reducing emissions and the overall environmental footprint.<\/p>\n

This is what you can expect from a vessel based on the Sleipner concept<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\n<\/strong>The new aerodynamic optimized shape helps reduce wind drag by a third compared to conventional designs,\u202fgiving substantial fuel savings for the Atlantic Operation where windy conditions are prevailing.<\/p>\n

Optimized cargo decks
\n<\/strong>The cargo decks have been optimized for the intended trade, resulting in a lower overall weight, and lower fuel consumption. Another fuel-saving feature is the low superstructure, low bridge, and integrated cargo hold fans that reduce air resistance.<\/p>\n

Optimized ramp system saves time and fuel
\n<\/strong>The new ramp design where one long ramp serves all decks, allows for faster loading and unloading in port. This time-saving design lets the ship sail at slower speeds and reduces fuel consumption. Cutting speed by just 1% can save 3% on fuel and lowers emissions.<\/p>\n

Shaft generator\u202fof active front end type cuts up to 10% of emissions
\n<\/strong>Another fuel saving feature is the active front end-type shaft generator. Instead of a 4-stroke generator sets, the power for fans[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″ css=”.vc_custom_1727167066213{padding-right: 35px !important;padding-left: 35px !important;background-color: #ebe6d8 !important;}”][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1727170944138{padding-right: 35px !important;padding-left: 35px !important;background-color: #ebe6d8 !important;}”]and accommodation is produced by a more fuel-efficient 2-stroke main engine. Depending on the operation point, the fuel saving of the generated power can be as much as 10 %.<\/p>\n

Elimination of ballast water reduces pressure from invasive species
\n<\/strong>Invasive species spread across our oceans through ballast water. The Sleipner concept design eliminates the need for ballast water\u202fwhen\u202ffully loaded on the North Atlantic.\u202fAnother benefit from not carrying heavy\u202fballast water is reduced\u202ffuel consumption\u202fand emissions.<\/p>\n

Adaptable multi-fuel engines, ready for the future
\n<\/strong>Sleipner concept vessels are equipped with multi-fuel engines that can run on LNG, LBG, regular and synthetic diesel. Looking even further ahead, the engines are also battery and wind ready as well as adaptable for fuels that are in a development- or early expansion phase.<\/p>\n

Shore connection\u202ffor zero emissions in port
\n<\/strong>The shore connection system lets the ship use electricity from the shore while docked, allowing it to turn off its engines and reduce pollution from fuel-burning generators.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width=”stretch_row_content” content_placement=”top” css=”.vc_custom_1727170992884{background-color: #ebe6d8 !important;}”][vc_column][vc_single_image image=”1571″ img_size=”full” add_caption=”yes” alignment=”center” css=””][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/6″][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”2\/3″][vc_column_text css=””]<\/p>\n

Award winning ship design<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\nIn 2024 M\/V FUTURE WAY, the first vessel based on the Sleipner concept was honored with the Shippax award as it stands out as a hallmark for optimization and progress in the Ro-Ro sector.<\/p>\n

[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/6″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1726499471301{padding-top: 0px !important;padding-right: 35px !important;padding-bottom: 35px !important;padding-left: 35px !important;}”][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text css=””]<\/p>\n

\u201dWith much attention paid to each and every detail of her sophisticated design, FUTURE WAY stands out as a hallmark for optimisation and progress in the Ro-Ro sector. Her multi-fuel engines allow for an operation on LNG, LBG, diesel and synthetic diesel, combining low emissions with a maximum of operational flexibility.<\/em><\/p>\n

Featuring an aerodynamically optimized bow, configurated battery-ready and fitted with shore power connections, the design of FUTURE WAY does<\/em><\/p>\n

[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text css=””]<\/p>\n

everything possible to bring down the ship\u2019s energy consumption and emissions. The innovative ramp system is engineered to streamline port operations to shorten port stays, enabling the vessel to maintain slower speeds at sea. <\/em><\/p>\n

Eventually, the design of FUTURE WAY allows to develop and enhance the ship further during its lifetime in line with technologic progress. This may result in a longer lifespan than currently customary for Ro-Ro vessels \u2013 another important contribution to save resources.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n
