Chemical tankers owner and operator Terntank on Sunday (23 March) announced the double naming ceremony of its first methanol-ready Hybrid Solution Plus® vessels.
The vessels were named Tern Land and Tern Vik – on 21 March at China Merchants Jinling Shipyard in Yangzhou.
“The naming ceremony, officiated by godmothers Astrid Viseth and Justina Möller, marks a major milestone in Terntank’s continued journey towards sustainable shipping,” it said in a social media post.
Equipped with wind-assisted propulsion, methanol-ready engines, hybrid battery systems, and shore power connectivity, the Hybrid Solution Plus®️ series sets a new benchmark for responsible maritime operations.
In 2023, Manifold Times reported the first steel cut of Terntank’s three methanol-powered 15,000 dwt hybrid tankers took place at the China Merchants Jinling shipyard.
The Hybrid Solution Plus vessels will be developed from the experience of the previous six Avic Series vessels with additional improvements to reduce environmental impacts.
