Everllence has signed long-term service agreements (LTSAs) with German ferry operator, TT-Line, covering two newbuilding ro-pax vessels currently under construction at China Merchants Jinling Shipyard (Jiangsu), plus two other vessels from TT-Lines’ existing fleet: the ‘Nils Holgersson’ that entered operation in 2022, and the ‘Peter Pan’ (2023), both also constructed by China Merchants.
The Nils Holgersson and Peter Pan are each equipped with two 6L51/60 DF and two 8L51/60 DF engines with Everllence propulsion systems. Similarly, the ro-pax newbuildings will both feature four 6L49/60DF engines as well as advanced, integrated Everllence propulsion systems comprising:
- twin-in-single-out gearboxes;
- Everllence Alpha controllable pitch propeller systems;
- Everllence LNG fuel gas supply system;
- electrical package including DC switchboard, Power and Energy Management System, and Battery Energy Storage System.
The newbuildings are respectively scheduled to enter commercial operation in 2030 and 2031 and will sail the Baltic between Germany and Sweden.
Andreas Schaerli, COO TT-Line, said: ” Discussions were open, constructive and goal-oriented with high system availability, planning security and clearly defined services particularly important to TT-Line. The decisive factors for us were, in particular, Everllence’s technical competence, comprehensive service understanding and willingness to translate our requirements into sustainable solutions in partnership.”
Norris Haberland, Head of Sales Europe, PrimeServ O&M, Everllence, added: “The signing of these four long-term service agreements that cover the entire lifecycle of our equipment is testament to the mutual trust between TT-Line and Everllence. Our long-standing partnership is built on technical expertise, close collaboration, and a shared commitment to finding the best solution for every challenge. Thanks to our service hub in Hamburg, we are located close to our customer and can respond quickly and flexibly to TT-Line’s requirements. We look forward to developing this successful collaboration in the years ahead.”
Tammo Rüther, European Senior Sales Manager, Marine Four-Stroke, Everllence, said: “We designed the propulsion concept with its large scope of supply for these newbuildings after extensive discussions with both owner and yard. It accordingly fulfils TT-Line’s green ship concept and its dedication to environmental sustainability. The efficiency of this state-of-the-art technology with minimum emissions and many different operating modes for specific operating conditions will benefit TT-Line for many years ahead.”
