LPG-fueled LPG carrier "Captain Markos" delivered
Kawasaki Heavy Industries, Ltd. announced it has delivered the 84,000 m3 capacity LPG carrier CAPTAIN MARKOS (Kawasaki hull No. 1755). This is the 70th LPG carrier built by the company.
This vessel is a dual-fuel LPG carrier using LPG and low-sulfur fuel oil, and their seventh 84,000 m3 LPG carrier adopting a dual-fuel main engine.
In recent years, in order to effectively reduce emissions of greenhouse gases from international shipping, more vessels are adopting liquefied gases as an alternative to heavy fuel oil on a global scale. This very large LPG carrier is powered by LPG, which reduces greenhouse gas emissions and is expected to significantly reduce environmental impact. It is the fruit of the Kawasaki Group’s accumulated knowledge in building LPG and LNG carriers, and LNG-fueled vessels.
Kawasaki plans to develop and build more LPG-fueled LPG carriers, LPG/NH3 carrier, and other commercial vessels that meet environmental standards, as well as to develop and offer other eco-friendly marine technologies, to contribute to the establishment of a low-carbon/decarbonized society. These products include vessels for transporting liquefied hydrogen, considered to be the next-generation energy source.
