This paperwork represents the environmental friendliness and the efficiency of the technical parameters of the new ferry „Aura seaways“ on the Klaipeda – Kiel line. Evaluation of energy efficiency design index (EEDI) showing compatibility with the latest IMO requirements in terms of CO2 pollution from engines and calculations of the technical parameters, taking into account the vessel‘s maximum loading and ability to fit into a 24-hour voyage period. In this paperwork was calculated whether the new DFDS ferry „Aura seaways“ achieves new IMO requirements for new build vessels. Results that were achieved, „Aura seaways“ meets new IMO MARPOL requirements and in order to reach the Klaipeda-Kiel line, an increase in the ship's speed of about 2 knots is needed to allow sufficient time for loading operations.
