Hybrid systems\u00a0have the flexibility to operate in both open and closed-loop mode. Enabling ships to switch to closed-loop operations in areas where the release of scrubber washwater has been banned is particularly important for this type of exhaust gas cleaning systems.<\/p>\n The conversion carried out in Piraeus, Greece, in just under three months, has seen the number of passenger cabins on board increased from 45 to 176, of which 94 are newly built and 33 former crew cabins converted to passenger cabins. <\/p>\n The ship was \u201cparked\u201d at a dock with a piece of land to which subcontractors have access. All work has been coordinated by a local firm. A floating dock was used as necessary.\u00a0 <\/p>\n The ship, built in 2002, has been renamed A Nepita\u00a0and it is designated to operate on the Marseille \u2013 Corsica \u2013 North Africa route, operating for the French shipping company Corsica Linea. <\/p>\n \u201cThis is a known and appreciated concept in the Mediterranean and not least in Pireaus, which entails extensive freedom in planning and execution,\u201d <\/em>says Stena RoRo\u2019s site manager Claes Tisell<\/strong> at the shipyard in Greece.<\/p>\n \u201cThe process has moved extremely fast and collaboration with affected suppliers has gone smoothly.<\/em><\/p>\n \u00a0\u00a0\u201cDespite major difficulties related to the prevailing Covid-19 pandemic, with shipyard workers and subcontractors, among others, forced to quarantine, we have managed to keep the timetable.\u201d\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n \u201cThe conversion has gone extremely fast and we’re very happy with the results,\u201d <\/em>says Niklas Andersson<\/strong>, general manager for Operations at Stena RoRo.<\/p>\n \u201cThe Mediterranean is a familiar market for us, but in this case we have a new customer, which makes it especially nice. This type of assignment \u2013 taking a customer\u2019s wishes and realizing them with rapid execution \u2013 is what we\u2019re best at.\u201d <\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n The post Stena RoRo’s ferry outfitted with hybrid scrubbers<\/a> appeared first on Offshore Energy<\/a>.<\/p>\n world maritime news<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Stena RoRo has converted the former\u00a0Stena Superfast X\u00a0day ferry into a night ferry, boosting the ship’s capacity and outfitting it with hybrid scrubbers.
