Steel cut for Samskip SeaShuttle
Short-sea traffic | A steel-cutting ceremony for the Samskip SeaShuttle has been held at Cochin Shipyard in India. The vessel is the first of two zero-emission short-sea container ships being built for the Rotterdam-based logistics company, Samskip, and has been designed to use green hydrogen as fuel. In zero-emission mode, the boxships are expected to achieve carbon dioxide reductions of about 25,000 tonnes a year. They will also be capable of using green shore power during port calls.
