Owner confirms dual-fuel Kamsarmax newbuilding series
The order adds fuel-flexible tonnage to a fleet renewal programme aimed at improving carbon intensity performance.
A dry bulk owner has confirmed an order for a series of dual-fuel Kamsarmax bulk carriers as part of an ongoing fleet renewal programme.
The vessels are designed with fuel flexibility intended to reduce operational carbon intensity, supporting compliance with tightening efficiency requirements.
Company representatives said the investment reflects long-term expectations for cargo demand in the grain and coal trades, alongside charterer preference for more efficient tonnage.
Deliveries are scheduled across the coming years from an Asian shipyard, with the owner retaining options for further units.
