vessel, a new RoRo super vessel that will lead the
shipping industry in sustainability and innovation.
The first vessel will be delivered in March 2011, fol-

the round-the-world trade – the largest of its
kind, with 50,335 square metres in deck area, of
which 31,250 square metres is reserved for high
and heavy cargo. The strengthened stern ramp has a
500-tonne capacity, and cargo can even be loaded on the
weather deck, which has a ramp from the deck below.
Despite the increased capacity, the Mark V will use 15
to 20 percent less fuel per unit transported than the Mark
IV, thanks to a streamlined hull and an advanced turbo
generator, which produces electricity from exhaust heat.
The turbo generator also reduces emissions of sulphur
dioxides and carbon dioxides by five to six percent, and
a state-of-the-art water ballast treatment system avoids QuA
