First Time for
Tysla
at Port Terminals
Sailing for Wallenius Wilhelmsen Logistics (WWL) and flying
the flag of Malta, the
Tysla
recently arrived at the Dundalk and
Fairfield marine terminals en route to Zeebrugge, Belgium. The
largest Roll-On/Roll-Off (RO/RO) vessel in the world, the
Tysla
is
265 meters long and 32.26 meters wide. The
Tysla
uses up to
20 percent less fuel per transported unit than its predecessors,
thanks to an optimized hull form and energy-saving features
such as a streamlined rudder design and duck tail.
