J. Lauritzen, a Danish investment company focused on maritime industries, has signed a letter of intent (LoI) with Japanese shipbuilder Tsuneishi Shipbuilding for the construction of methanol dual-fuel bulk carriers.
The LoI includes the construction of minimum two methanol dual-fuel 81,200 dwt Kamsarmax bulk carriers which will be capable of trading with zero-carbon emissions when powered by green methanol and bio diesel.
According to J. Lauritzen, the vessel will be among the very first zero-emission capable bulk carriers in the world.
