Japan’s Imabari Shipyard is to build one of the newbuilding orders for K Line using green steel.
The Japanese shipping conglomerate announced it will use green steel product made by Japan’s JFE Steel in a ultramax bulk vessel scheduled for delivery in 2026.
JFE describes its green steel as a product of “mass the balance process” where the environmental improvements in the company’s mills are not equally shared across the range of products the company makes.
