During October the 12,519gt/1973 built Logos Hope (above), formerly Smyril Line’s Norrona, arrived in Singapore where she will remain for six months to complete the Power Up Logos Hope project. This significant technical work will see the replacement of two of the ship’s old generators and the main electrical switchboard. In addition, a heat recovery system will be installed to recycle previously wasted heat energy to heat domestic water on board as well as pre-heat fuel oil. The work is being carried out by the Keppel Shipyard in Singapore. The Logos Hope was purchased by OM Ships International in 2004 and entered service in 2009. She is operated on behalf of OM Ships International by GBA Ships e.V., a private, non-profit, charitable organisation registered in Germany.
