The 63,300 dwt vessel is designed for the carriage of bulk cargoes, including coal, iron ore, grain and cement, as well as a range of dangerous cargoes. Its GHG (Green House Gas) performance when measured in accordance with IMO’s Energy Efficiency Design Index is 20% better than the requirement under MARPOL Annex VI and already reaches the Phase II requirement normally set for the years 2020/2024, according to Bureau Veritas. Its deadweight was achieved as a result of an advanced design fully compliant with the common structural rules. The vessel can carry 5.2% more cargo than other bulk carriers of comparable size.
