MV Emotion, a Baltic Max feeder vessel, has been operated by JR Shipping Group since 2008.
The Emotion was built by the German Peene Werft yard and was the first vessel from the PW-1,400 Baltic Max container feeders series. A notable competitive advantage is her shallow draught in proportion to her large capacity, which enables her to pass through the Kiel Canal when fully loaded. Because she has the highest ice class, the Emotion can be put to use in Northern Europe and the Baltic both in winter and in summer. A training ship for maritime students, the Emotion boasts additional facilities.
Making our fleet more sustainable
Since 2021, the JR Shipping Group and Value Maritime have been intensively cooperating to meet the global challenge of making shipping more sustainable. The innovative Filtree System, developed in-house by Value Maritime engineers, can play an important role in the energy transition of our industry.
The system, suitable for both existing and new vessels, is based on a versatile technology that filters sulphur and ultra-fine particles from exhaust gas and purifies wash water. In addition, a patented CO₂ capture and storage module is integrated into the system. The CO₂ is stored in battery containers for reuse in other industries, with the carbon even being re-used to facilitate the growth of flowers and other crops. Value Maritime has set up an extensive service network to replace the batteries in the main ports. This will result in a 100% circular solution.
By the end of 2023, the majority of our fleet will be equipped with Exhaust Gas Cleaning Systems.
MV Emotion is equipped with a Filtree system and Carbon Capture module.
