        德国航运公司HGK航运，作为综合物流集团HGK的一部分，为其新型未来燃料就绪柴油电动油轮举行了命名仪式。

 

        据悉，该油轮“莫诺梅拉”（Monomera）的命名仪式于2024年10月30日在荷兰德鲁滕举行。该油轮将为一家化工公司在西德运河系统与ARA港口之间运输氢氧化钠。

 

        该油轮最大有效载荷为1,809吨，长100米，宽9.5米。据HGK航运公司介绍，该油轮采用柴油电动驱动系统，并配备了智能电源管理系统，从而实现低排放运营并优化燃油消耗。

 

        两块空置区域被整合到船体中，即所谓的“空舱”，也为未来的储能解决方案提供了空间。船东强调，因此，这艘新船已做好准备，一旦气候友好型能源可用，即可投入使用。

 

        HGK航运公司首席执行官斯特芬·鲍尔表示：“‘莫诺梅拉’号标志着我们在可持续内河运输的未来道路上迈出了明确的一步。这是我们新船建造战略的又一步，旨在让我们的船队为能源转型中的气候友好型驱动系统做好准备，并为项目实施奠定基础。”

 

        此外，在开发“莫诺梅拉”号时，HGK航运公司采用了最新的计算流体动力学（CFD）方法，以减少水阻，最大限度地提高能源效率。

 

        据该公司介绍，该船的主要创新之一是其优化的吃水深度，即使在水位较低的情况下，它也能以仅1.20米的吃水深度运输重达348吨的货物。

 

        HGK航运公司强调，该油轮配备了两台舵桨推进器，每台可提供500千瓦的驱动力，使其特别适合在运河上航行，并在复杂的水域条件下高效运行。

 

        该船的设计由HGK航运公司的设计中心开发，该中心与位于德鲁滕的HGK航运荷兰子公司Koninklijke Wijnhoff & Van Gulpen & Larsen紧密合作。

 

        罗马尼亚的Severnav造船厂完成了船体的建造，随后荷兰的De Gerlien van Tiem造船厂接手了内部装修工作，直至该船交付使用。

 

        “莫诺梅拉”号将在荷兰的格尔德兰省提供定期服务，并将从现在起为HGK航运公司的液体化学品业务部运营。

 

        在追求减碳目标的进程中，HGK航运公司近期公布了一款河海两用气体油轮的设计方案，以更好地适应能源转型时代的新运输要求。在该项目下，名为“先锋”（Vanguard）的内河航运公司设计了欧洲首艘用于运输冷液化氨（NH3）和液化二氧化碳（LCO2）的河海两用气体油轮。

 

        2024年6月，该公司的环保型柴油电动气体油轮“GAS 95”获得了绿色奖项金牌认证。

 

        该油轮于2024年2月在莱茵河投入运营，据HGK航运公司介绍，它是新一代内河航运船舶的代表。

German shipping company HGK Shipping, a part of integrated logistics group HGK, has held a naming ceremony for its new future-fuel-ready, diesel-electric tanker.

 

As informed, the naming ceremony for the tanker Monomera took place in Druten, in the Netherlands, on October 30, 2024. The vessel will transport sodium hydroxide between the western German canal system and the ARA ports for the chemical company.

 

With a maximum payload capacity of 1,809 tonnes, the tanker measures 100 meters in length and 9.5 meters in width. It comes equipped with a diesel-electric drive concept. When combined with an intelligent power management system, this provides particularly low-emission operations with optimized fuel consumption, according to HGK Shipping.

 

Two empty areas integrated into the ship’s hull, so-called void spaces, also provide room for future energy storage solutions. As a result, the new ship is prepared to use climate-neutral energy sources as soon as they are available, the shipowner highlighted.

 

“With the ‘Monomera’, we’re setting a clear course toward the future of sustainable inland waterway transport. It’s another step in our construction strategy for new vessels, aimed at preparing our fleet for climate-neutral drive systems as part of the energy transition and setting the stage for programme implementation,” said Steffen Bauer, the CEO of HGK Shipping.

 

Furthermore, HGK Shipping has made use of the latest computational fluid dynamics (CFD) methods when developing Monomera in order to reduce the resistance caused by water and maximize energy efficiency.

 

According to the company, one of the main innovations on this vessel is its optimized draft, allowing it to transport a load weighing up to 348 tonnes with a draft of just 1.20 meters, even if water levels are low.

 

Two rudder propellors, each developing 500 kW of drive power, make the tanker particularly suitable for service on canals and effective operations in difficult water conditions, HGK Shipping emphasized.

 

The vessel’s design was developed at HGK Shipping’s Design Center, which worked in close cooperation with Koninklijke Wijnhoff & Van Gulpen & Larsen, a Dutch subsidiary of HGK Shipping in Druten.

 

The Severnav shipyard in Romania completed the construction of the hull before the Dutch shipyard De Gerlien van Tiem took over the responsibility for the final interior fitting work up to the time that the vessel was commissioned.

 

Monomera will sail on a regular service in the Dutch province of Gelderland and the vessel will operate for HGK Shipping’s Liquid Chemicals business unit from now on.

 

As part of its decarbonization quest, HGK Shipping recently unveiled a design for a river/sea-going gas tanker to better comply with new transport requirements in the energy transition era. Under the project name Vanguard, the inland shipping company has designed Europe’s first river/sea-going gas tanker for the transport of cold liquefied ammonia (NH3) and liquefied CO2 (LCO2).

 

In June 2024, the company’s environmentally-friendly diesel-electric gas tanker GAS 95 received the Green Award in Gold certification.

 

The vessel was put into operation on the river Rhine in February 2024 and according to HGK Shipping, represents a new generation of inland waterway vessels.
