Tharsis Ship Management has secured Innovation Fund support for the eSeaRiverBarge project, under the EU Innovation Fund 2024 Call for Net-Zero Technologies.
The grant supports the development, construction, and operational deployment of two first-of-a-kind zero-emission sea-river container vessels — designed to combine seagoing capabilities with the ability to navigate far up the Rhine, including during low-water periods. With a capacity of up to 378 TEU and an open-top hold optimized for 30- and 45-foot containers, the vessels offer direct, seamless transport between European seaports and inland terminals.
Each vessel features wind propulsion systems, 16 dedicated positions for swappable ISO energy containers, capable of housing a wide range of zero-emission energy carriers along with hull air lubrication, electric propulsion etc. The vessels will be completely built in the EU. Construction is scheduled to start in early 2027, with the vessels entering service in 2029. Read more…
