It is the second of two chemical / product tankers of 15,000 dwt, both of which will start a time-charter for Neot after delivery. 27 Dec 2020 KEEL LAYING FOR AD0077 AD0077 has been keeled at China Merchant Jinling Shipyard (Yangzhou) Dingheng. It is the first of two chemical / product tankers of 15,000 dwt, both of which will start a time-charter for Neot after delivery. Further development Hybrid solution is a further development of Terntank's previous design from Rolls Royce, which goes into service for the charterers Neot, Preem and Exxon. According to Terntank, both the charterers and the shipping company and crew are very satisfied with the ships. - The shipping company and Rolls Royce and our suppliers have refined the previous design with new technology, reduced energy consumption Read the news at Sjöfartstidningen 27 Dec 2020 NEOT TAKES HYBRID TANKERS ON TC NEOT TAKES HYBRID TANKERS ON TC Co-operation between Terntank and NEOT will be taken to the next level with a new generation of LNG/LBG hybrid product carriers. THE NEW VESSEL class is derived from the product carriers of Ternsund-type. As the project designation ”Terntank Hybrid Solution” suggests, the new vessels will take a step further, combining LNG/LBG-powered engines with a DC Link Battery Storage System. Both vessels will be taken on TC by NEOT, a Finnish oil products supply company operating in the Baltic Sea region. After that all five vessels in the NEOT-fleet are owned by Terntank, of which four will be LNG-powered. Advisor at Tertank, the shipyard has managed to maintain almost full activity during the Covid-19 pandemic despite additional challenges such as heavy rain and local flooding in and around the Yangtze River. Travel restrictions have of course impacted on the possibility to visit the shipyard during construction of the two vessels.

This is a further development of our AVIC series. The two vessels on 15,000 dwt have been ordered from CMJL, formerly AVIC Dingheng Shipbuilding, under the project name AVIC SERIES 2.0. - We saw a will and a potential in the shipyard when we got there in 2013. Having the first four vessels Ternsund, Ternfjord, Tern Sea, and Tern Ocean in operation for three, four years, we found that our customers, crew, and the owners are very satisfied with that shipyard, says Tryggve Möller. Continues to take green steps With the new vessels, we have invested too come closer to carbon-neutral operations and reduce the impact on the environment. - Our goal of reducing carbon dioxide emissions by 40% through reduced fuel consumption and LNG operation was achieved through the first series. Now we continue our journey towards fossil-free operations with hybrid technology and over time also by biofuels, says Tryggve Möller. Batteries and shore power In addition to dual-fuel machinery that can be run on liquid biogas (LBG) or natural gas (LNG), the newbuilding’s get a hybrid battery system. - This way we can eliminate the use of auxiliary engines in arrival and departure from the port, says Tryggve Möller. In addition, the vessels will be equipped with shore power connections that will eliminate the emissions in port, which are generated from the auxiliary machines. - This is both costly and technically complicated because the connection must be carried out in an explosion area, he says. The vessels will also be equipped with new digital technology. - All development that the company does together with customers, ports, STM, and ship agents within just in time can be coordinated to optimize the ship's operation both for the environment and from an efficiency perspective, says Tryggve Möller. Close cooperation with Port of Gothenburg The vessels are designed by Kongsberg (former Rolls-Royce Commercial Marine) in collaboration with Terntank. As regards to the shore power connection, we have worked in close cooperation with Port of Gothenburg. - Now we hope and believe that Port of Gothenburg will make an investment decision later this fall and plug green electricity at the quays in Skarvikshamnen just until the first vessel arrives around New Year 2021, says Tryggve Möller. The two newbuilding’s will be put into service on the Baltic Sea and the North Sea during 2021. The first, AD077, are going to be delivered in November 2021 and the second, AD0078, will be delivered in February 2022.

Today we can announce that Preems vessels are soon going to be supplied with a new fuel blend consisting of 10 percent renewable fuel. Where our Tern Ocean is one of the time-chartered tankers. This means that Tern Oceans fuel is going to be a blend consisting of liquefied natural gas (LNG) and the renewable liquefied biogas (LBG). That Preem is taking this step to make the time-chartered fleet run on 10 percent biofuel shows that they are a part of the transition to a sustainable future.

Name: Daniel Leopando Position: Master Current vessel: Ternvik Years with Terntank: 14 years What are important factors to have “happy ship” according to you? – A happy ship should have a spirit of camaraderie. A good relationship with each and every crew is important, giving them my full support and attention not only at work but also to their personal matters if needed. I let them feel that their work is being appreciated even in small things that inspire them to do more, than what is expected. What is your advice to future cadets? – For future cadets, always remember that experience is the best education. Keep on learning. Perseverance, hard work, and discipline are the key to success! Name: Torbjörn Beyersdorf Position: 2:nd Engineer Current vessel: M/T Ternvag Years with Terntank: 3,5 years How do you like it on board M/T Ternvag? – I like it. For me, a tanker on the spot market is what life at sea should be like. Why? Several reasons. One is that it is easy to stay in touch with my family due to the trade. Another reason is that anyone in the office is just a phone call or email away. It doesn’t matter if I call the superintendent or even the owner of the company. They answer and give me the support I need. Last but not least. HR-department called when I was having a crisis at home and just asked how I am. Small thing but means a lot. What is your advice to the future seafarer? – For cadets. The most important thing is curiosity. Keep asking questions and don’t be afraid to look stupid. The best cadet I’ve ever had asked the most stupid questions. It is also important to not accept any form of harassment if that should occur. What to see more pictures?
