On July 3, the “Blue Marlin<\/strong>“, the new dry cargo vessel developed by HGK Shipping<\/strong> for Salzgitter AG,<\/strong> was christened in Hamburg. This integration expands Europe’s largest inland shipping fleet and redefines the standard for sustainability and efficiency in inland waterway transport. <\/p>\n\n

Blue Marlin technology <\/h2>\n\n

In collaboration with Salzgitter Flachstahl<\/strong>, the “Blue Marlin<\/em>” was designed with a focus on energy efficiency and climate change adaptation. In addition, its “Future Fuel Ready<\/em>” diesel-electric propulsion<\/strong> system makes it suitable for future cleaner energy sources. Added to this is the integration of SEAFAR<\/strong>, a remote navigation technology that has already been approved for routes in Germany. <\/p>\n\n

This vessel is equipped with Wattlab solar modules<\/strong> with generation capacities of up to 37,500 kWh per year. This energy can directly power the propulsion system<\/a><\/strong>, enabling emission-free navigation phases and minimizing up to 36 tons of CO\u2082 annually. <\/p>\n\n
