TT-Line expands use of automation in its fleet, selects Valmet to supply marine automation system to two new Green Ship 2.0s

TT-Line, one of Europe’s leading ferry operators, has selected Valmet to deliver marine automation systems for two new Green Ships 2.0 that are currently being built at China Merchants Jinling Shipyard. The automation systems will help TT-Line to improve vessel efficiency, support reliable operations, reduce energy consumption, and advance its long-term decarbonization targets across Baltic Sea routes.

The order continues the successful cooperation between TT-Line and Valmet following the installation of Valmet’s automation systems for the award-winning Nils Holgersson and Peter Pan ferries. By unifying the automation platform across its fleet, TT-Line can standardize operations, simplify maintenance, and support consistent vessel performance throughout the ships’ lifecycle.

“Our partnership with Valmet has consistently delivered strong results since the introduction of Nils Holgersson and Peter Pan. The common automation platform has contributed to reliable vessel operations and efficient fleet management. For these two new ferries, we selected Valmet based on proven performance, project delivery capability, and lifecycle support. The new vessels will help us enhance passenger transport services while supporting our ambitions for more sustainable shipping in the Baltic Sea,” said Andreas Schaerli, COO of TT-Line.

The new 240-meter Green Ship 2.0 ferries are designed to carry 1,000 people and feature LNG-hybrid propulsion combined with battery systems and are capable of using shore power. Valmet will deliver a comprehensive automation package, including the Machine Automation System, Power Management System, Bilge Control System, and Cargo Control System.
