According to COSCO,
the design vessel boasts green and low-carbon characteristics, energy
efficiency, and strong cargo capacity, ensuring safety and reliability. At the
same scale, the cargo hold volume increases by approximately 1%; under the same
speed conditions, daily fuel consumption is reduced by about 0.5 tons. Primarily designed for ammonia cargo, it
also has the capability to carry LPG simultaneously.
The ammonia dual-fuel system
is engineered to achieve net-zero carbon emissions, positioning it at an
internationally advanced level in terms of both performance indicators and
cargo capacity.
To date, one LNG
dual-fuel VLCC has been operationalized, and orders have been placed for three
114,000-dwt Aframax methanol dual-fuel crude oil carriers, COSCO informs.
Cosco Shipping Energy Transportation’s
Board recently approved an investment in six 307,000 DWT VLCCs, to be
built by Dalian Shipbuilding Industry Company (DSIC) and China Shipbuilding
