The vessel has a dual-fuel main engine that can use both methanol and fuel oil. The primary fuels are expected to be bio-methanol and e-methanol, produced using hydrogen derived from renewable energy sources and recovered carbon dioxide. Using low-carbon methanol as fuel, the NYK Group aims to significantly reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Boasting the largest loading capacity of an Ultramax bulker, the vessel will have a general-purpose hull that can transport various cargoes, including grain and ore.
The NYK Group aims to promote the decarbonization of its fleet and realize clean transportation by using a wide range of low-carbon and decarbonized fuels, including low-carbon methanol.
