Features
- Kawasaki's new VLCC replaces the conventional bulbous bow with a newly designed bow form that extends the vessel's length at the waterline. This new design greatly reduces wave-making resistance from bow waves during navigation, enabling greater propulsive performance.
- The use of a low-speed, ultra-long-stroke main engine together with a high-efficiency, large-diameter propeller provides low fuel consumption.
- The main engine and generator are equipped with a Selective catalytic reduction (SCR) System, an exhaust gas purification system to reduce NOx, which allows the ship to navigate in Emission Control Area (ECA).
