The shipping company from Lübeck has entrusted the Jinling Shipyard of China Merchants Industry Holdings to construct the gas-run, hybrid, 240-metre-long ro-pax.

Classified by RINA, the ferry will also be equipped with a connector to draw electricity from the shore, including charging the batteries.

The class has also shared that the newbuild will be able to welcome around 1,000 passengers; however, RINA did not share the ferry's cargo capacity (TT-Line's previous ferries of the Green Ship class, Nils Holgersson and Peter Pan, can accommodate 800 travellers and offer 4,000 lane metres).

The latest commission sees TT-Line exercising the option from the 1+1 contract it signed with the shipbuilders from China Merchants in December 2025.
