K-LINE Orders Four LNG Dual-Fuel Car Carriers

complying with port size restrictions and equipped with 60-ton capacity stern ramps for heavy and oversized cargo. The vessels measure approximately 129.95 meters in length and 20.5 meters in width, and feature Ice Class 1A. Their LNG fuel use is expected to reduce CO2 emissions by 25-30% and nearly eliminate SOx emissions compared to conventional fuel oil ships. They employ high-pressure ME-GI engines with vacuum-insulated LNG tanks to minimize methane slip. Scheduled for delivery in 2029, these ships support "K" LINE's Environmental Vision 2050 aiming for net-zero greenhouse gas emissions.
