Auramarine has been awarded a new contract to deliver advanced fuel supply systems for a set of three new RoPax vessels ordered by Finnlines.
Finnlines recently announced the addition of the three new Hansa Superstar class vessels to its fleet, with delivery set for 2028 and 2029.
The new 240-metre vessels, designed by Deltamarin, will operate on the Finland–Germany route, each offering 5,100 lane metres for cargo, accommodation for up to 1,100 passengers and a garage for up to 60 cars.
All three ships will be produced at China Merchants Weihai Shipyard.
Each new vessel will feature multi-fuel engines capable of running entirely utilising methanol, and will leverage a full suite of green technologies including modern hull and high efficiency propeller design, shore power connectivity and waste heat recovery systems.
As part of its contract; Auramarine will design and deliver these fuel supply systems to all three vessels including control and ESD automations. Its fuel supply systems will be delivered to China Merchants Weihai Shipyard during autumn and winter 2026 and 2027.
