ONE APUS is also equipped with the world’s first ‘dual rating system’ technology in the main diesel engine. This enables flexibility in operations and enhances fuel efficiency to significantly reduce greenhouse gases. The Crack Arrest Technology is also used to improve structural safety.
What is more, with the Integrated Navigation System (INS), the navigation bridge consolidates functions of vessel systems to efficiently limit the workload of operators.
In addition, for safety improvement, a wide window is also adopted for widened visibility, helping the view of ship operators from the wing of the vessel’s bridge when berthing and unberthing.
