Building a new generation Kvarken ferry

History 2013 2015 2019 On 4 Jan 2013 Kvarken Ports , Kvarken Link Oy NLC Ferry/Wasaline a joint port company was founded. started the traffic commenced between Vasa and the operation Umeå with 1 Jan 2015. m/s Wasa Express. Kvarken Link Ab was founded. All companies are owned 50-50 by the City of Vaasa and Umeå Kommunföretag AB (Municipality)

Bothnian Corridor

• Build the most environmentally friendly ship on earth that is reliable and fit for purpose, minimum 50 % reduction of CO 2 • Use predictable maintenance with a long-term operational agreement to reduce and increase predictability of OPEX and reduce risks for unexpected surprises and increase operational reliability • Future ready to allow for upgrades and sustainability improvements Establish a long-term sustainable transport solution between Finland and Sweden. The alternative to an 800 km road transport is the 80 km sea transport route.

Wasaline is the northernmost year-round ferry line in the world. We have ice winter every year. Generally, ice winters are classified as follows: 1. Mild ice winter Ice from the beginning of February to the end of March 2. Normal ice winter Ice from January to approximately the 20 th of April 3. Severe ice winter Ice from mid-December to the beginning of May

• Environmental footprint • Passenger flow and experience • Power generation • Navigation • Automation • Optimized operations & performance

GUIDELINES FOR DESIGN ENVIRONMENTAL FOOTPRINT • Bio/LNG gas solutions - fuel gas handling, gas tanks land and sea and bunkering • Catalyst for max reduction of NO x (exceeding IMO Tier III requirement) • Waste heat and cool recovery to maximise energy use POWER GENERATION • 2-stage turbocharged multi-fuel engines (BioGas) • Power Conversion/ Drives with high redundancy • Hybrid solution with batteries and inductive charging • Built in Flexibility to swap or add power sources

1. Smart ships & remote operation 2. Floating validation & service optimization 3. LNG & low emission solutions 4. Performance in Ice & research for Ice impact 5. Storage & hybrid solutions Focus on innovation, technology demonstrators and introduction of new products/solutions/services. A design that supports flexibility in order to keep the grade of innovation high during the whole life span, not only when new.

GUIDELINES FOR DESIGN SMART SHIPS & REMOTE OPERATION Test & demonstration of a platform that enables • Remotely operated engine rooms & data management • Intelligent ship operation • Services based on digital technology • Total CBM solution for the whole ship FLOATING VALIDATION & SERVICE OPTIMIZATION Reduce time-to-market for new innovations through • Proof of concept process stretching over the whole chain VEBIC – University – Industry Labs – RoPax/terminal

GUIDELINES FOR DESIGN LNG & LOW EMISSION SOLUTIONS STORAGE & HYBRID SOLUTIONS Investigate Focus on innovative projects New short shipping concepts based on batteries • Near-zero methane slip • Harbour-based support system technology • Emission control systems for hybrid & fully electrified vessel types • Cost efficient LNG/LBG solutions • Energy storage applications PERFORMANCE IN ICE & RESEARCH FOR ICE IMPACT Iceclass 1 A Super • Supports Ice laboratory research • Living lab concept

Low sulphur distillate diesel fuel Dual fuel gasoil / LNG machinery LBG ready - Low CO 2 - No SO x - Low No x Waste heat utilization on LT water Waste heat utilization on LT water, HT water and exhaust gas Optimized mechanical propulsion Electric propulsion ”future ready” for further energy efficiency Shafted propulsion with CP propeller Podded propulsion with fuel saving. Improved maneuvering and ice navigation. Diesel load highly variable Power plant partly replaced by battery energy storage. Improved specific fuel consumption. Energy produced with diesels High capacity shore connection. Energy storage charging at quayside.
