        挪威礼诺航运公司下单的12艘首批多燃料极光级船舶已离开船厂开启首次试航。

 

        这批汽车卡车运输船（PCTC）由招商局重工（江苏）有限公司（CMHI）建造。

 

        该公司表示，未来十天，这些新建造的船舶将在上海东部海域航行。

 

        经过数周的测试后，该船舶启动海上试航，以确保其设施准备充分，具备适航性。

 

        挪威礼诺航运公司称，“这是朝我们追求的净零未来迈出的另一步切实举措。极光级船舶是目前世界上最大的，最环保的汽车运输船。”。

 

        该船舶已于今年1月份移动至干船坞，它最多可运载9100辆汽车。

 

        2022年1月，挪威礼诺航运公司同招商局重工（江苏）有限公司（CMHI）签订合同，下单4艘固定式和8艘选择式多燃料零碳就绪极光级船舶。该船舶的多燃料引擎支持使用轻柴油（MGO）和液化天然气（LNG）。经过改装，这些船舶能够在未来过渡使用包括液氨和甲醇在内的零碳燃料。

 

        该项目正在全速进行中，已公布了9至12艘船舶的选择权，包括在这些船舶上安装氨燃料引擎的选择权。该公司已为其订购的所有极光级船舶获得了具有吸引力的承诺融资条款。

 

        此新造船舶项目预计对该公司实现到2040年成为净零排放运行商的野心至关重要。

Höegh Autoliners: First Aurora class vessel embarks on sea trials

 

The first of twelve multi-fuel Aurora-class vessels ordered by Norway-based shipping company Höegh Autoliners has left the shipyard for its first sea trial.

 

The pure car and truck carrier (PCTC) is being built at China Merchants Heavy Industry (CMHI) in Jiangsu.

 

In the next ten days, the newbuilding will be sailing in the ocean east of Shanghai, the company revealed.

 

The ship is commencing sea trials after weeks of testing, making sure the equipment is ready and ensuring seaworthiness.

 

“This is another tangible step towards the net zero future, we are pursuing. The Aurora Class is the largest and most environmentally friendly car carrier ever built,” Höegh Autoliners said.

 

The vessel, which will have the capacity to carry up to 9,100 cars, was floated out of the drydock in January this year.

 

Back in January 2022, Höegh Autoliners entered into a contract with CMHI for four fixed and eight optional multi-fuel and zero-carbon ready Aurora-class vessels. The vessels’ multi-fuel engine can run on marine gas oil (MGO) and liquefied natural gas (LNG). With modifications, the vessels can transition to use future zero-carbon fuels including ammonia or methanol.  

 

The program is progressing at full speed with the option for vessels nine to twelve declared, including an option for installing ammonia engines on these vessels. The company has secured committed financing for all of the ordered Aurora-class vessels on attractive terms.

 

The newbuilding program is expected to be crucial in realizing the company’s ambition to be a net zero emissions operator by 2040.
