The first SOV powered by e-methanol

This will reduce annual emissions by approximately 4,500 tons of CO₂, reaffirming itself as a model of carbon neutral operations and opening a new era for “green ships”.
At 93 meters in length, this vessel will offer accommodation for 124 guests and will meet DNV’s strict classification standards, sailing under the Danish flag. It will serve the world’s largest offshore wind farm, Hornsea 2, located in the North Sea off the coast of Yorkshire, UK.
