Cosco Shipping Energy Transportation says it has taken delivery of the “world’s first” dual-fuel VLCC — although its claim is disputed.
The 319,000-dwt Yuan Rui Yang (built 2022) classed by China Classification Society (CSS) was delivered by Dalian Shipbuilding Industry Corp on 28 February, according to a CCS announcement.
The vessel is the second such “first” to be announced.
