Sustainability

Given the increasingly complex environmental requirements, BALTRADER endeavors, together with the BRISE Group, to continuously improve the sustainability of its fleet. The Green Shipping activities focus primarily on selected retrofitting measures that achieve demonstrable success in a short time.

In cooperation with ARKTIK, Hamburg, BALTRADER now also offers a CO2 calculator for environmentally conscious customers. Here you can calculate the CO2 emissions of individual ship routes and request an environmental certificate.

New buildings

Hamburg based Baltrader Capital has two cement carriers built. Chinese shipyard Jiangsu Zhenjiang Shipyard will deliver the newbuildings at the beginning of 2024. This new generation of cement carriers is optimized for the European shortsea trade. The vessel´s design contains numerous innovative and environmentally friendly features.

Additionally both sister vessels have been designed with a foundation that allows a later installation of a rotar sail.

The final installation of the rotor sail on CEMCOMMANDER is foreseen still within 2024.

Green Shipping

Energy efficiency is not only becoming more and more relevant for commercial vessels as a result of the mandatory EEDI limits on newbuildings, it is also a criteria that is becoming increasingly important for existing ships with regards to chartering decisions.

In addition to the use of special performance monitoring systems that improve the recording and monitoring of fuel consumption on board, the BRISE Group is already equipping the first ships with Schneekluth wake equalizing ducts, which can lead to fuel savings of up to 12 percent.

BRISE is also looking into the option of making adjustments to the propeller, which can reduce consumption by 10 to 15 percent. In addition, BRISE and BALTRADER participate in industry events such as “Green Ship Technology” and the “Sustainable Shipping Conference”.
