The development of the SX216 vessel design has been a collaborative effort between Acta Marine and Ulstein Design & Solutions AS.
These vessels are the first contracted to implement Ulstein's TWIN X-STERN® design. The innovative design features two sterns and main propeller units at each end, resulting in lower energy consumption, reduced motions, and higher operability and comfort. The design also allows for reduced noise and the potential for significant energy savings during operation.
Being a leading actor in the renewable energy business, it is paramount to be prepared for a future where zero or low-carbon fuels are available. Acta Marine has a strong wish to offer their clients the largest possible reduction of emissions straight from the delivery of the vessels. Therefore, these vessels required a practical and timely available solution to reduce their carbon footprint from the outset of the design.
The project manager for Ulstein, Roy Lindset, states that Ulstein is grateful for the opportunity to work with Acta Marine on this exciting project and looks forward to continuing this successful partnership.
