Mitsui OSK Lines has disclosed the first operational performance details for its Wind Challenger hard sail on the maiden voyage of the vessel on which it is deployed.
The 100,400-dwt coal carrier Shofu Maru (built 2022), which was delivered in early October, arrived at the Port of Newcastle, Australia for cargo loading on 24 October.
The ship has since departed for the Japanese discharge terminal of its charterer Tohoku Electric Power Co.
