Japan's Tsuneishi Shipbuilding handed over a new bulk carrier to local shipowner Kambara Kisen on Tuesday, May 13.
Green Future will be operated under a long-term time charter by NYK Bulk and Projects Carriers, a company under the NYK Group.
The newbuild has an LOA of 199.99 metres, a beam of 32.25 metres, a draught of 13.8 metres, a depth of 19.15 metres, a deadweight of approximately 65,700, and a total cargo capacity of 81,500 cubic metres.
Green Future is notable for being the first bulk carrier in the NYK Group fleet to be equipped with a dual-fuel engine that can run on methanol and conventional fuel oil.
NYK said that, by using bio-methanol and e-methanol produced using hydrogen derived from renewable energy sources and recovered carbon dioxide, the vessel can achieve significant reductions in greenhouse gas emissions.
The vessel also boasts a general-purpose hull that can transport various types of bulk cargo including grain and ore.
