Mitsui Engineering & Shipbuilding Co., Ltd. (with president Mr. Yasuhiko Katoh) has agreed with a first class shipowner to build 2 units 가상 축구 결과 “neo Supramax 66BC”, 66,000 dwt bulk carriers 가상 축구 결과 next generation newly developed as low fuel consumption／eco-friendly ship.

Keeping the superior usability 가상 축구 결과 MES’ best selling 56,000 dwt type handymax bulk carrier (“Mitsui 56”) which achieved over 170 contracts, this new and larger type bulk carrier is expected to establish a new segment in bulk carrier market. Development 가상 축구 결과 the ship’s design was preceded by hearings from various owners and operators and investigations on more than 600 ports all over the world. This ship is designed to have over-Panamax beam (36m) and shallow draft in consideration 가상 축구 결과 prevailing trade patterns and the expansion 가상 축구 결과 Panama Canal in 2014.

Despite its larger deadweight and cargo capacity than Mitsui 56, neo Supramax 66BC achieves even less fuel consumption by adopting newly developed hull form and o가상 축구 결과r energy saving equipment.

At IMO MEPC62 held from 11th to 15th July, 2011 in London, implementation 가상 축구 결과 new energy efficiency design index (“EEDI”) and actual restrictions on fuel consumption in line therewith have been adopted. Ocean-going ships to be built now on will be required to satisfy a certain level 가상 축구 결과 fuel consumption standard and the requirement will gradually become severer, therefore, existing ships will be replaced with ships with superior fuel consumption step by step. Neo Supramax 66BC’s fuel consumption is far lower than the restriction level based on EEDI and is expected to benefit its users in long term under the future marine environment protection restrictions. The MES’ achievement is a result 가상 축구 결과 high valuation 가상 축구 결과 neo Supramax 66BC’s concept, superior energy efficiency and operational flexibility from wide beam, shallow draft design. The 2 ships are to be chartered by European major operator.
