MacGregor has signed contracts with China Merchants Jinling Shipyard to supply a wide range of RoRo equipment for TT-Line’s two new Green Ship 2.0 battery-hybrid LNG ferries. The order, booked in MacGregor’s second-quarter 2026 orders received, covers several RoRo equipment systems for each vessel. It represents one of MacGregor’s largest RoPax equipment orders to date and is expected to support the vessels throughout their operating life.
The two new ferries are being developed to support more sustainable maritime transport in the Baltic Sea. Each vessel will measure 240 metres and have capacity for 5,400 lane metres of cargo and accommodation for up to 1,000 people.The ferries will operate on key Baltic Sea routes connecting Sweden, Germany, Poland and Lithuania. Their battery-hybrid systems and LNG propulsion are designed to support TT-Line’s focus on reducing emissions, improving energy efficiency and providing reliable passenger and freight services.
The agreement follows project development work that began in 2021. MacGregor said the new vessels benefit from technical and operational experience gained through earlier fleet projects. Lessons from those projects have been used to improve equipment design, reliability and project execution.
Bernhard Termühlen, Managing Director at TT-Line, said the Green Ship 2.0 programme is an important part of the company’s efforts to provide efficient and environmentally responsible transport across the Baltic Sea. He said reliable cargo handling systems will be important for reducing port turnaround times and maintaining service standards for freight and passenger customers. He also highlighted MacGregor’s technical expertise and its focus on continuous improvement.
Magnus Sjöberg, Executive Vice President, Merchant Solutions Division at MacGregor, said the company was pleased to continue working with China Merchants Jinling Shipyard and TT-Line on the Green Ship 2.0 programme. He said teams from Sweden, China, Poland, Germany and Croatia had worked together to develop an integrated cargo handling solution. The project, he added, demonstrates MacGregor’s capabilities in complex RoPax equipment and its focus on supporting customers and sustainable shipping.
The new ferries are expected to strengthen TT-Line’s fleet as the company continues to develop more efficient transport solutions for the Baltic region. MacGregor provides cargo and load handling equipment and services for the maritime and offshore industries. The company supports customers from new vessel construction through upgrades and modernisation.
MacGregor reported sales of approximately EUR 830 million in 2025 and employs about 2,000 people across 30 countries. The Green Ship 2.0 project marks another step in the long-term cooperation between TT-Line, China Merchants Jinling Shipyard and MacGregor, combining advanced cargo handling technology with battery-hybrid and LNG-powered vessel systems.
