The automation systems will help TT-Line to improve vessel efficiency, support reliable operations, reduce energy consumption, and advance its long-term decarbonization targets across Baltic Sea routes.
Continuing the Cooperation Across the TT-Line Fleet
Our partnership with Valmet has consistently delivered strong results since the introduction of Nils Holgersson and Peter Pan. The common automation platform has contributed to reliable vessel operations and efficient fleet management. For these two new ferries, we selected Valmet based on proven performance, project delivery capability, and lifecycle support. The new vessels will help us enhance passenger transport services while supporting our ambitions for more sustainable shipping in the Baltic Sea.
Andreas SchaerliCOO of TT-Line
The order continues the successful cooperation between TT-Line and Valmet following the installation of Valmet’s automation systems for the award-winning Nils Holgersson and Peter Pan ferries. By unifying the automation platform across its fleet, TT-Line can standardize operations, simplify maintenance, and support consistent vessel performance throughout the ships’ lifecycle.
A Comprehensive Automation Package for the Green Ship 2.0 Ferries
The new 240-meter Green Ship 2.0 ferries are designed to carry 1,000 people and feature LNG-hybrid propulsion combined with battery systems and are capable of using shore power.
The integrated automation architecture enables centralized monitoring and control of critical vessel operations. By improving visibility into onboard processes and power usage, the system helps optimize energy efficiency, support safe operations, and reduce operational complexity for vessel crews.
Valmet will deliver a comprehensive automation package, including:
- Machine Automation System
- Power Management System
- Bilge Control System
- Cargo Control System
Lifecycle Services Throughout the Ships’ Service Life
In addition to the onboard systems, TT-Line will benefit from Valmet’s lifecycle services, including remote support, maintenance services, software upgrades, training, and spare parts availability. The lifecycle approach helps maximize system availability, maintain cybersecurity and performance over time, and support cost-efficient vessel operation throughout the ships’ service life.
Mission-Critical Automation for the Marine Industry
We are proud to continue our cooperation with TT-Line as it invests in a new generation of energy-efficient ferries. Reliable automation is essential for managing increasingly complex vessel operations and optimizing energy use onboard. By combining proven automation technology with lifecycle services, we help customers improve operational performance, enhance safety, and achieve their sustainability targets over the long term.
