Miner Anglo American has taken delivery of its first LNG-fuelled capesize bulker.
The Shanghai Waigaoqiao-built 190,000-dwt Ubuntu Harmony (built 2022) is the first of 10 LNG-fuelled chartered bulk carriers that will help the company reduce CO2 emissions by 35% compared with conventionally powered ships.
The mining giant said the use of LNG will significantly reduce nitrogen oxides and particulate matter from vessel exhausts, while new technology eliminates the release of unburnt methane.
