Shiptec at work on beautiful Lake Thun!

Since November 2025, Shiptec AG has been working flat out to equip the MS Stadt Thun, owned by BLS Schifffahrt AG, with the latest technology for the coming season.

As part of this extensive repowering project, we are installing two new main engines and two new gensets that comply with the current Stage V emission standards and can be operated with HVO – an important step towards sustainable shipping.

In addition, a new steering position will be installed, the bow and stern steering systems will be comprehensively overhauled, and various minor works such as a new heating system will round off the estimated order – all from a single source, Shiptec AG!

The work will continue until spring 2026, so that the ship can set sail again in time for the new 2026 season.

We are delighted to be able to contribute our technical expertise to the future viability of this traditional and beautiful ship.
