Erik Thun Group announced the delivery of their second eco-friendly, plug-in hybrid vessel named MV Spiken.
The latest addition to Erik Thun Group’s fleet, MV Spiken, was delivered on 10 December and has now reached Wismar, Germany, for its first loading. The vessel, is designed with eco-friendly features to minimise emissions and plug-in hybrid technology. The design focuses on maximizing cargo capacity, enabling the company to handle more cargo within restricted waterways like Lake Vanern. Furthermore, the optimized bow design also allows the vessel to carry significantly more cargo with lower energy consumption.
Spiken is the second of six vessels ordered in the same series, to be incorporated into Erik Thun Group’s fleet. It is named after the fishing village Spiken, one of Europe’s largest freshwater harbors.
“We are making a substantial investment to support our customers’ transportation needs and thereby strengthening our position even further on the short-sea market and on the Lake Vänern traffic,” says Senior Charterer Jens Bäckström.
