M/S Robin Hood

Ferry references

TT-Line, the German-Swedish ferry operator, selected Wärtsilä Hybrid Scrubber Systems to be retrofitted to its Ro-Pax vessel, the “M/S Robin Hood” as part of TT-Line’s Green Ship strategy. The full turnkey project was managed by Wärtsilä thereby minimizing downtime and risk, whilst guaranteeing performance and regulatory compliance. Delivery and installation took place during summer 2014.

The vessel was fitted with four Wärtsilä Hybrid Scrubber Systems designed to reduce harmful sulphur oxide (SOx) and particulate emissions from the ship’s exhaust. The ferry operates in the Sulphur Emission Control Area (SECA) between Travemünde, Germany and Trelleborg, Sweden. The Wärtsilä systems will enable compliance with the SECA regulations, as well as with anticipated future legislation.

Wärtsilä’s turnkey delivery responsibility covers full engineering, pre-fabrication, installation, classification, project management, and construction site management.

"Environmental responsibility is a key element in TT-Line’s Green Ship strategy. The pilot installation of Wärtsilä exhaust gas cleaning systems on the M/S Robin Hood is a significant step towards our goals in this respect. The retrofit project is co-financed by the European Union through the TEN-T MOS “Green Bridge on Nordic Corridor” project. We see advantages in Wärtsilä’s turnkey supply, and we will benefit from having one single point of contact for the entire project."

Mr Hannes Conzen, CEO of TT-Line.
