As disclosed, the 5,900 TEU boxship—said to be the biggest unit of its type to be built by the Group—saw the first light of day on August 27. It is expected to be handed over in February next year.
According to Tsuneishi Shipbuilding, the vessel was engineered based on a “final solution” concept aimed at achieving net-zero carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions through the use of green methanol, which is synthesized from recovered CO2 and hydrogen sourced from renewable energy, or bio-methanol derived from biomass.
As noted, both the main engine of the ship and the onboard generators, including the HiMSEN engine
