Mitsui O.S.K. Lines Signs Charter Contract for Two Dual-Fuel VLGCs with TotalEnergies Subsidiary

These advanced VLGCs will measure 230 meters in length and 32.25 meters in width, boasting a cargo tank capacity of 88,000 cubic meters. Designed to operate on both liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) and conventional heavy oil, the dual-fuel technology significantly enhances environmental performance. When fueled by LPG, the vessels are expected to reduce carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions by approximately 20%, and sulfur oxides (SOx), particulate matter (PM), and other pollutants by about 90%, compared to traditional heavy oil.Additionally, the ships are equipped to transport ammonia, a next-generation clean energy source that emits no CO2 during combustion. This capability positions MOL to meet the anticipated rise in demand for ammonia as a sustainable energy solution.
