M/S Eeva VG

Powered with EcoFuel

VG EcoCoasterTM is an extremely energy efficient dry cargo carrier, capable of using alternative fuels, EcoFuel. The new vessels will meet all the maritime environmental regulations coming into force in next few years, and in many cases will even exceed them. VG EcoCoasterTM is designed to cause considerably less environmental impact than conventional dry cargo vessels. The hull and machinery of the newbuildings are optimized to the speed of 10,5 knots in open water conditions. Power required for Ice Class 1A is achieved by a diesel electric driven booster unit. The the fuel consumption is almost halved compared to conventional dry cargo vessels of similar type and size, and therefore also cut emissions remarkably. The vessels will be equipped with a dual fuel system, main engine ABC 8DZC being suitable for biofuel and MGO. Biofuel for the vessels is produced in VG EcoFuel’s (part of Meriaura group) refinery located in Uusikaupunki.
