Carl-Schulte

A state-of-the-art containership designed by the Schulte Group to meet the most stringent international environmental standards is already outperforming in terms of design and performance and attracting positive attention in the industry. The 5,400 TEU Carl Schulte, along with its two sister vessels, Christa Schulte and Clemens Schulte, has many environmental features as standard. Her owner Bernhard Schulte, together with her manager Bernhard Schulte Shipmanagement (BSM), succeeded in pushing the boundaries when it came to hull design and the fitting of one of the most efficient engines on the market. Ensuring that this work was undertaken during the design phase, they installed sophisticated software to optimise voyage planning and to measure the CO2, SOX and NOX emissions. All sister vessels have a state of the art ballast water treatment plant fitted. The owner worked with DNV GL to ensure that their vision and aspirations were fully met, which also resulted in the vessel being fitted with a class approved emergency response system to deal with any untoward environmental incidents. Subsequently, DNV GL issued a Green Passport to all sister vessels. http://www.hellenicshippingnews.com/mv-carl-schulte-outperforms-in-meeting-the-most-stringent-environmental-standards/
