Hamburg Sud Christens Another Polar Class Vessel
German shipping company Hamburg Sud has christened its latest Polar-class containership, Polar Ecuador.
The christening ceremony was held at Belgian New Fruit Wharf in Antwerp on May 20, 2019.
"Antwerp is a highly important port for Hamburg Süd, and the Belgian New Fruit Wharf is a very suitable place for the christening of a Polar -class vessel," Frank Smet, Chief Commercial Officer (CCO) of Hamburg Sud, commented.
"After all, with more than 1,000 reefer plugs, the Polar Ecuador transports a disproportionately large volume of refrigerated cargo for a container vessel of this size from Mexico and the Caribbean to Antwerp," he added.
The 52,100 dwt Post-Panamax is deployed in Hamburg Süd’s North Europe -Mexico/Caribbean service (EMCS), which connects Antwerp and other European ports in Ireland, Great Britain and Germany with Mexican and Caribbean ports.
Polar Ecuador belongs to a group of four structurally identical vessels in the Polar class that were built for Hamburg Sud by the Chinese shipyard Jiangsu New Yangzi Shipbuilding.
With a total length of 230 meters and a width of 37.3 meters, the ship offers a container storage capacity of 3,800 TEU and is equipped with 1,000 reefer plugs.
Last month, the company christened Polar Ecuador s sister vessel, Polar Mexico, in the Mexican port of Veracruz. The christening of Polar Mexico also marked first berthing of a container vessel at the new ICAVE terminal.

Panama Canal Step Closer to Carbon Neutral Future with Enhanced Green Initiatives
The Panama Canal Authority (ACP) has announced improvements to its Green Connection Environmental Recognition Program which recognizes vessels that comply with the highest environmental performance standards.
The announcement was made on the heels of the International Maritime Organization s (IMO) Marine Environment Protection Committee (MEPC74) in London, where the Panama Canal participated.
As explained, enhancements are in line with the canal s carbon reduction commitments, the IMO s emissions reduction strategy and the Paris Agreement.
"With these improvements to our environmental and conservation initiatives, the Panama Canal solidifies its leadership in the adoption of carbon-reduction best practices," Alexis Rodriguez, Panama Canal s Environmental Protection Specialist, commented.
"The proposed updates will provide our customers a more comprehensive picture of their environmental contributions, encouraging them to continue implementing good practices in the reduction of emissions and their use of the Panama Canal s Green Route."
The Green Connection Environmental Recognition Program encourages the shipping industry to mitigate the environmental impact of its operations through an incentive-based system that includes the Green Connection Award, the Environmental Premium Ranking and the Emissions Calculator.
Starting in September 2019, the Emissions Calculator will feature georeferenced data to improve the quality and precision of the carbon emissions data of vessels transiting the waterway. The tool aims to give customers - and the canal - clear insight into their carbon footprint to incentivize environmental stewardship and reduce greenhouse gases (GHG).
The Environmental Premium Ranking will be a factor in the use of low-carbon fuels and environmentally conscious transit operations starting mid-September. This ranking affords customers with high environmental efficiency standards the opportunity to improve their position within the Panama Canal s Customer Ranking System.
The canal will also bring about updates to other carbon-reduction and watershed conservation initiatives such as the Environmental Economic Incentives Program and the Panama Traffic Separation Scheme (TSS).
Given the shorter traveling distance and larger capacity offered, the Panama Canal consistently reduces fuel consumption and emissions, generating less GHG compared to other routes. Most recently, the waterway registered historic transit milestones by Qatargas Al Safliya Q-Flex carrier, the world s second-largest LNG tanker class, and Evergreen s Triton, the largest containership in dimension and container cargo capacity to pass through the Expanded Canal since it opened in 2016.
Of the more than 50 million tons of carbon dioxide (CO2) reduced since the inauguration of the Expanded Canal, the Neopanamax locks are responsible for the reduction of more than 35 million tons of CO2. Since its opening in 1914, the Panama Canal has helped reduce more than 750 million tons of CO2.

TT-Line s Ferry 1st to Feature MAN s Dual-Fuel, Diesel-Mechanical Propulsion System
The TT-Line s new Green Ship ferry is set to become the world’s first ferry to receive MAN s dual-fuel, diesel-mechanical engines after the marine propulsion supplier received an order from China s Jinling Shipyard.
Jinling is building the 230-meter RoPax ferry for German ferry operator TT-Line under a contract that contains options for an additional ship.
According to MAN, Jinling has ordered a total of four engines.
The newbuilding is based on TT-Line s Green Ship design, developed in collaboration with Copenhagen-based designer, OSK-Shiptech, and is scheduled for delivery in 2022.
The ship will serve within TT-Line s route network in the Baltic Sea. Operating on LNG, it will have 50 percent fewer emissions than TT-Line s previous generation of vessels.
The vessel will feature a complete MAN propulsion package, besides the engines, including propellers, a fuel-gas-supply system (FGSS), and the fuel-saving, hybrid propulsion system HyProp ECO.
"Running on LNG, our propulsion package will enable this vessel to operate on such low emissions that it will become the most environmentally friendly RoPax ferry in the Baltic," Lex Nijsen, Head of Four-Stroke Marine Sales - MAN Energy Solutions, said.
"This order is the very first MAN dual-fuel, diesel-mechanical propulsion system for a ferry application," he pointed out.
The newbuilding will have the capacity for 800 passengers and over 200 articulated lorries. The company currently has six ferries operating on various routes in the Baltic Sea.

Damen Completes Repairs of LNG Carrier Methane Princess
Damen Shiprepair Brest announced it has completed repairs to the hull of LNG carrier Methane Princess after its collision with a harbor tug in Equatorial Guinea.
The 266-meter, 138,000 cbm ship sustained damage above the waterline on the aft starboard side while berthing at the Punta Europa LNG Terminal.
Following the collision, Methane Princess proceeded to the UK s Milford Haven LNG terminal to offload. The class association required immediate repairs and issued an extension to the vessel s certificate, which made it ineligible for charter until the damage was made good.
To save time and return the vessel to operations as soon as possible, vessel owner Golar LNG requested that Damen Shiprepair Brest perform the hot work repairs with the vessel afloat and with residual gas in the tanks so as to keep them cool. By doing so, the vessel could return to work almost immediately without the usual 3 to 4-day cooling down process.
Once the carrier was alongside, several controls were performed by a shore-certified chemist to identify the various risk areas and certify that the hot work area was safe before starting. The yard team then constructed a platform against the side of the vessel side, held in place by eyes welded on to the hull, and the work went ahead to remove and replace the damaged steel. Once the welding and the necessary tests and certification by the class were completed, the hull area was painted.
This was the second time the LNG Methane Princess was repaired by Damen. The vessel was at the yard in last September for a scheduled intermediate survey that included a full scope of work on the engines, cargo tanks and related equipment.

IMO MEPC Tightens Climate Protection Requirements for Ships
The International Maritime Organization s (IMO) Marine Environment Protection Committee (MEPC) has approved amendments to strengthen existing mandatory requirements for new ships to be more energy efficient.
The amendments were approved at the MEPC 74th session held from May 13 to 17, 2019.
Specifically, the committee approved, for adoption at the next session in April 2020, amendments to MARPOL Annex VI to significantly strengthen the Energy Efficiency Design Index (EEDI) "phase 3" requirements.
The draft amendments bring forward the entry into effect date of phase 3 to 2022, from 2025, for several ship types, including gas carriers, general cargo ships and LNG carriers. This means that new ships built from that date must be significantly more energy efficient than the baseline. For containerships, the EEDI reduction rate is considerably enhanced for larger ship types.
MEPC also agreed terms of reference for a correspondence group to look into the introduction of a possible "phase 4" of EEDI requirements.
The committee pushed forward with a number of other measures aimed at supporting the achievement of the objectives set out in the initial IMO strategy on reduction of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from ships, in line with the Paris Agreement under UNFCCC and the United Nations 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.
One of the initiatives is the Fourth IMO GHG Study initiated by MEPC. The work is planned to begin in autumn 2019, with a view to the final report of the study being submitted to MEPC 76, to be held in autumn 2020.
What is more, the committee adopted a resolution encouraging cooperation with ports to reduce emission from shipping.
As explained, this could include regulatory, technical, operational and economic actions, such as the provision of onshore power supply, safe and efficient bunkering of alternative low-carbon and zero-carbon fuels, incentives promoting sustainable low-carbon and zero-carbon shipping, and support for the optimization of port calls including facilitation of just-in-time arrival of ships.
Moreover, MEPC approved a procedure for the impact assessment of new measures proposed, agreed to establish a multi-donor trust fund for GHG, and agreed terms of reference for the sixth and seventh intersessional working groups to be held in November 2019 and in March 2020 respectively in order to expedite the work.
Also discussed were possible candidate short-term, mid- and long-term measures aiming at reducing GHG emissions from ships.
