BSM Singapore has welcomed a new LNG dual-fuel car carrier (PCTC), the first LNG-fuelled car carrier on the Japan-Southeast Asia route.
As announced, the company has added the first LNG dual-fuel car carrier, TRANS HARMONY GREEN to its managed fleet, with Kagoshima Senpaku Kaisha, Ltd. as the bareboat charterer.
The vessel has the capacity to transport about 3,000 passenger cars at once. Additionally, the ship’s main engine and main generator engine are dual-fuel engines each accommodating LNG or diesel fuel.
This is the first of two sister vessels that BSM Singapore takes into management for the owner. Later this year, BSM Singapore will take over the second LNG dual-fuel car carrier, TRANS HARMONY EMERALD.
Together, these engines achieve over a 25% reduction in CO₂ emissions compared to fuel oil-powered ships of the same hull design. They also cut SOₓ (sulfur oxides) emissions to near zero, significantly reducing the vessel’s environmental footprint.
