Wallenius Marine has announced that its new ‘multi-fuel' vessel Way Forward, which can run on LNG, LBG, diesel and synthetic diesel, has recently arrived at the Port of Emden and is now ready to embark on its first mission of transporting cars between Europe and the US on a long-term charter with the Volkswagen Group.
Way Forward is the second vessel designed and operated by Wallenius Marine for the Volkswagen Group. Both Way Forward and its sister ship Future Way are not only equipped with multi-fuel engines but are also capable of using shore power connections to reduce emissions when in port and feature an aerodynamic shape to minimise wind drag.
Way Forward, which has capacity for 6,500 car equivalent units, was built at the Yantai CIMC Raffles shipyard in Longkou, China.
