The 5,400 TEU Carl Schulte and its two sister ships, the Christa Schulte and the Clemens Schulte, have been fitted with efficient engines and equipment to optimise voyage planning, measure and control carbon dioxide ( CO2) sulphur oxides (SOx) and nitrogen oxides (NOx) emissions.
The ships have also benefitted from optimised hull design to ensure maximum efficiency and all feature ballast water treatment plants. Furthermore, a class approved emergency response to deal with any untoward environmental incidents was also fitted.
Bernhard Schulte has worked alongside DNV GL to ensure that the ships were designed and built to the highest efficiency standards. This resulted in DNV GL issuing a Green Passport to all the ships.
The Carl Schulte has been awarded a RightShip grading of A+ on the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions scale and has been given a five star Environmental Score rating, placing the ship in the top 20 vessels out of 76,000 ships graded by RightShip. This means that the ship can benefit from port due discounts, where ports have applied the scheme themselves.
