Tallink’s newest ship, MyStar, was christened today at RMC’s shipyard in Rauma
Tallink’s newest LNG-powered, environmentally friendly ship, MyStar, officially received its name today, 12 August, 2021. The ship under construction at Rauma Marine Constructions’ shipyard was christened by the president of the Republic of Estonia, Kersti Kaljulaid. The ship was also launched at the ceremony, with the
event organised according to the strictest COVID-19 safety measures.
MyStar is, to date, the largest ship to be built at Rauma Shipyard. It is also the seventh vessel to be built for Tallink in Rauma.
The ship is fuelled by liquefied natural gas (LNG) and once completed, will be the most environmentally friendly vessel to operate
in the Baltic Sea. When it starts operating
on the Helsinki-Tallinn route next year, two environmentally friendly high-speed shuttle ferries, MyStar and Megastar, will operate between Finland and Estonia. Both ships meet all current and currently known future emissions requirements.
“We are grateful that despite the difficult times, today we were able to celebrate an important milestone in the construction of our newest ship, MyStar. We are now meeting properly for the first time at the Rauma shipyard together with our partners. This
is an important occasion not only for the MyStar project team, but also for the entire shipping industry and the passengers too. We are celebrating the fact that shipping will be increasingly environmentally friendly, efficient and responsible in the future,” said Paavo Nõgene, CEO, Tallink Grupp.

Both humans and the
environment benefit from
LNG at the Elbe
Liquind Marine and GasCom have delivered the 100th truck load of liquefied natural gas (LNG) to the ferry “GREENFERRY 1” of the shipping company Elbferry. The ferry received 18 tons of LNG from the 100th truck at Steubenhöft in Cuxhaven this last weekend. Less than six months after putting the ship into operation on the route between Brunsbüttel and Cuxhaven, the ferry has established itself as a popular mode of transport for passengers and vehicles alike, while also contributing to the protection
of the environment. By using LNG, the combustion of 2,000 tons of diesel was spared and up to 90% less nitrogen oxide and 20% less CO2 was emitted into the atmosphere.
In addition, particle emissions have been almost entirely reduced and no sulphur
was generated from the combustion of the alternative fuel.
Since March 2021, LNG bunkering operations for the vessel have been regularly conducted in Cuxhaven. As a result of the professional cooperation on the part of the ship crew, port authorities, and the Jongeneel onshore bunker team, the operations are
