Today Biofuel Powered vessel Sofia VG was delivered to her owners Meriaura. “Sofia VG is the first of the two ordered Ecotrader ships that are 105 meters long, 1A ice classed 6735 DWT vessels. The ships are designed to achieve the lowest possible emission levels. Like the EcoCoaster vessels Eeva VG and Mirva VG delivered in 2016 by Royal Bodewes, the Ecotraders can be operated with biofuel. Emission reductions are achieved not only through the use of renewable fuel but also through hull optimization and advanced engine technology provided by the Finnish company Wärtsilä Marine. Due to these technical improvements the ship’s fuel economy is remarkably better compared to older vessels”. 📸 Marble Automation | Marine & Industry
