Our team's deep industry knowledge and experience help us integrate cutting edge vessels, people and know-how to deliver safe, cost-effective and efficient operations, with carbon emission reductions that are expected to exceed the climate ambitions of the Paris Agreement.
Vessels
We manage our ships from the design phase, through construction and during trading operations. The knowledge gained is applied to the planning and construction of new ships to generate a competitively priced vessel in line with our customers’ needs. We work with shipyards and suppliers to develop new technologies that improve our existing fleet and to help build efficient vessels for the future.
Our seven MGC vessels incorporate the latest designs, including market leading cargo size and system optimization, together with various energy saving devices designed to improve energy usage. All but one of our MGC vessels are fitted with scrubbers to give the best competitive advantage to our customers. Our current new building fleet comprises of four 45,000 cbm MGC vessels at Hyundai Mipo. They are maximum Ammonia ready, including 1,000 cbm deck fuel tanks prepared for Ammonia dual-fuel retro-fit in the future. These vessels have a Shaft Generator and Scrubber as standard and meet the EEDI III requirement.
Our fleet of four modern 180,000 cbm LNG carriers, equipped with the latest ME-GA EGR 2-stroke engine, reducing fuel consumption, emissions and methane slip. They have very low boil-off rates and are equipped with sub-coolers to manage excess boil-off, creating more trading flexibility, and lead to fuel and efficiency savings for our customers. Improved insulation and additional cabins ensuring workplace and employee retention and life at sea improvement. Incorporates an advanced Big Data collection system that enables comprehensive data analysis, which optimizes vessel utilization, reduces fuel consumption, and lowers maintenance costs.
Our three 98,000 cbm VLEC vessels utilize dual-fuel ethane engines and optimized cargo handling systems to reduce emissions when running on ethane, and will be EEDI Phase III and EEXI compliant. The vessels are also designed with optimised hull lines and are equipped with energy saving devices, including a shaft generator, Hi-PSD, Hi-Fin, Hi-Rudder with bulb and the use of low-friction paints to further contribute to emission reduction.
