Fincantieri's Vard division has delivered the zero-emissions container vessel Yara Birkeland to her owner, fertilizer manufacturer Yara International.
The 120 TEU Yara Birkeland is the world's first battery-electric container feeder for commercial use, and the project partners' ultimate goal is to operate her as an autonomous vessel.
The vessel's hull was built by Vard's Braila yard in Romania, and initially her outfitting and delivery were slated for completion at Vard Brevik. The work was later transferred to Vard Brattvaag, and a planned second-quarter delivery was pushed back due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Now that she has been delivered, she will undergo further testing and autonomous system development at a designated area near Horten, Norway - Link
