OSM Thome has entered into a Letter of Intent with Pherousa Green Shipping AS (PGS) to manage a series of 63000 dwt ammonia-fuelled Ultramax vessels to be ordered by PGS.
According to Pherousa Green Shipping, the collaboration involves Phases I, II, and III, encompassing Drawing Approval, Project Development, and Site Supervision for six 63000 dwt Ultramax Bulk Carriers. Furthermore, OSM Thome will manage the crew and technical management of the constructed vessels.
The vessels are designed by Deltamarin in Finland. The initial ship design is derived from an existing Deltamarin Ultramax model, but it has been modified to include the ammonia cracking technology developed by Pherousa Green Technologies AS (PGT).
Our early agreement with OSM Thome ensures that crew members will be prepared and trained well in advance of vessel delivery. This proactive approach guarantees the establishment of safety measures and protocols in accordance with the guidelines for safe handling at sea
… said Hans Bredrup, Chairman of the Pherousa Group.
The initial fleet of six Ultramax dry bulk carriers has a specific focus on serving the global copper industry. Given copper’s pivotal role in worldwide decarbonization efforts, the copper industry has set ambitious emission reduction targets, encompassing Scope 3 emissions which involve transportation to end users.
We are looking forward to working closely with the team at PGS to ensure that this project is successfully supervised and managed to create sustainable transportation solutions
… commented Tommy Olofsen, OSM Thome’s Chief Commercial Officer.
