Features

The vessel has a flush deck with a forecastle and seven holds that are designed for optimum transport of grains, coal, products.
The vessel employs various technologies to achieve maximum fuel economy, including an energy-saving, electronically-controlled main diesel engine, high propulsive efficiency propellers, and the Kawasaki rudder bulb system with fins (RBS-F) and semi-duct system with contra fins (SDS-F), which all contribute to the vessel’s enhanced propulsion performance.
The vessel incorporates various energy saving technologies, which reduce both fuel consumption and emission of carbon dioxide (CO₂), thereby achieved with the EEDI* Phase 2 requirements.

EEDI:Energy Efficiency Design Index . Compulsory international regulations requiring energy-efficiency compliance in newly built ships based on EEDI values, which specify CO₂ emissions in grams for transporting one ton of cargo for one mile. EEDI regulation values apply in increasingly strict phases based on the construction-contract conclusion date and finished-ship delivery date. By Phase 2, bulk carriers are required to achieve a 20% reduction in CO₂ emissions. This regulation is valid from January 2013.
