Towards Clean Seas and Blue Skies

Cold Iron Capable – Capable of connecting to shore power while at berth to reduce emissions.
Voyage Planning Tools – Effective voyage planning and execution reduces fuel consumption and emissions.
Online Energy Efficiency Monitoring System – Provides integrated data and remote telemetry with graphical analysis of fuel usage to aid optimisation.
Hull and Trim Optimization – Optimised hull form and trim reduces hull resistance and results in less fuel consumed for propulsion.
Rudder Performance – Full spade twisted rudder minimises cavitation and improves performance.
Electronic Main Engine – Electronic main engine optimises low load operation and reduces fuel oil consumption and emissions.
Ballast Water Treatment System – Early adoption and installation of an approved ballast water treatment system to prevent the spread of invasive aquatic species.
Shielded Oil Tanks – Double-hulled fuel oil tanks protect against oil pollution.
Green Passport – This voluntary certificate ensures safe and environmentally sound ship recycling by documenting all the hazardous materials used during construction and throughout the life of the vessel.
Hull Coating – Self-polishing, anti-fouling paint reduces drag, fuel consumption and emissions.
Energy Efficient Design Index – Innovative technology and design results in an Energy Efficiency Design Index (EEDI) improvement on new builds that is 33.4% below the International Maritime Organization's base line for containerships.
