Skarv TBN 4

This is a short-sea Multipurpose Cargo Ship for Skarv Shipping Solutions under construction at Huanghai Shipbuilding as NB245 for delivery in 2027. This is the first ship in the Skarv C-class. Skarv Shipping Solutions is a joint-venture between Peak Group and Grieg Edge.

“These ships are far more climate-friendly than what we see in the short-sea market in Europe today, with a very low fuel consumption. They are not what we imagine is the final climate solution for shipping, but they are a giant step in the right direction,” says the CEO of Skarv, Jan Øivind Svardal.

The design includes an optimised engine ready for ammonia or methanol, batteries, a shore-power system, peak shaving with a dynamic propeller drive system, and a high-voltage switchboard prepared for future green power production like fuel cell technologies and increased battery capacity.
