Mount Ossa, the last vessel in our series of six 210,000 dwt DF LNG Newcastlemaxes chartered to Rio Tinto, has been successfully delivered with Laure Baratgin, to Singapore-based shipowner Eastern Pacific Shipping (EPS).
As explained, this delivery also marks the 21st vessel being delivered by New Times Shipbuilding to EPS.
Despite global challenges, Rio Tinto and EPS have shown unparalleled resilience and a strong commitment to decarbonize shipping.
Over the past three years, these LNG-powered vessels have proven to be a sustainable choice, emitting 30% less than their conventional counterparts.
We have successfully completed over 200 LNG bunkering operations, significantly reducing emissions across our fleet.
…EPS said.
We celebrate our strong partnership with New Times Shipbuilding on this 21st milestone delivery to the EPS fleet, grateful to have 43 world-class vessels built and delivered, including those on order from New Times, which means we are only halfway through our esteemed collaboration.
..EPS added.
The company’s 200th ship-to-ship (STS) bunkering operation featured the pure car and truck carrier (PCTC) CMA CGM Daytona. The 700 CEU vessel received 930 cubic meters of LNG from Pavilion Energy’s bunker ship, LBV Brassavola.
