Spanning nine decks and with a cargo deck area the
size of eight soccer fields, the 265-metre long MV
Parsifal is a sight to behold.

ust 35 metres shorter than the Eiffel Tower, with a
ramp that can endure the weight of 100 elephants,
an anchor which weighs a hefty 9.2 tonnes and with
an engine which has the horsepower of 180 cars, the
nine-deck MV Parsifal is a truly impressive sight. Built in
2011 in Japan, she is one of the latest ships to join WWL’s
fleet where she is deployed around the world to transport
cars, trucks, rolling equipment (such as excavators, bulldozers and harvesters) and breakbulk cargo.
Despite her gigantic size, the Parsifal is actually
15-20% more energy efficient per transported unit
compared to her predecessors due to her optimised hull
shape and other energy saving features like the streamlined rudder design and duck tail which make her one
of the most environmentally friendly ships in operation
today. In addition, electricity will be produced from the
exhaust heat on board thanks to an advanced turbo
generator which has been installed in the engine room.

Flexibility has been key in the design of the ship: the
Parsifal has three hoistable decks, a main deck height of
7.1 metres and cargo can even be loaded on the weather
deck via a ramp from the deck below. This means that
WWL can allocate space around the ship according to
the size and shape of customers’ cargo and thus optimise space on board.
See what makes this new RoRo Mark V vessel such a
floating success story and why she can handle larger units
than ever before.

MV Parsifal
Vessel Type: RORO Mark V
At 265-metres long, Wallenius Wilhelmsen
Logistic’s MV Parsifal is one of the largest
ships sailing the world’s oceans. Designed to
maximize cargo load, this floating giant is
also surprisingly economical: with an optimized
and streamlined design, MV Parsifal is
15 to 20 percent more fuel efficient per
transported unit compared to her predecessors.
Just one of her many impressive facts…
