| U-Ming order four, dual-fuel, 200,000 dwt bulkers from Shanghai Waigaoqiao Shipbuilding (SWS) |
U-Ming is ordering four, dual-fuel, 190,000 dwt bulkers from Shanghai Waigaoqiao Shipbuilding (SWS) in China for delivery through 2023. The newbuildings will be destined for 10-year charters with Anglo American.
The vessels will be equipped with MAN Energy Solutions’ high-pressure ME-GI engines, which according to U-Ming will have “negligible levels of methane slippage”. Anglo American said the vessels would provide a 35% cut in CO2 emissions compared to similar vessels using standard marine fuel oil. |
