Cochin Shipyard Limited has carried out the steel cutting of the first vessel in a series of two vessels of the Sea Shuttle zero emission feeder container project being built for Samskip, the Netherlands-based logistics firm. The function coincided with the sustainability day celebrations of Samskip held at their headquarters in Rotterdam. The order is awarded to CSL by Samskip Group Norway.
The Sea Shuttle project is one of the First Zero Emission Feeder Container Vessel in the world using Green Hydrogen as the fuel. This is an ambitious project admitted under the Norwegian Government green funding programme aimed at emission-free transport solutions by adopting sustainable path breaking future technologies. In zero emission modes, each vessel is expected to achieve around 25,000 tonnes of CO2 reduction per year.
