On February 6, Mitsui O.S.K. Lines announced that the LPG-fueled Very Large Gas Carrier (VLGC) "ENERGIA GRANDEUR," ordered by its group company MOL ENERGIA, had been completed.
<Completed ENERGIA GRANDEUR>
In a dual-fuel vessel using LPG and heavy oil, using LPG as fuel can reduce CO2 emissions by approximately 20% and SOx and PM emissions by approximately 90% compared to using heavy oil.
The cargo is designed to transport not only LPG but also ammonia, and ammonia, which does not emit CO2 when burned, is expected to see a large increase in demand in the future as a next-generation clean energy source.
Based on Mitsui O.S.K. Lines' corporate color "BLUE," which symbolizes the sea, the design combines it with "turquoise," which represents the company's commitment to the environment, visually expressing the group's corporate philosophy: "Supporting people's daily lives from the blue sea and opening up a prosperous future."
ENERGIA GRANDEUR will now engage in time charter contracts with CSSA Chartering and Shipping Services.
