By GlobalDataThe MOSS-Type vessels are also capable of reducing hull-resistance, power requirements and carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions while increasing propulsion efficiency.
As part of MISC’s long-term fleet expansion programme, the vessels are designed to be called at the 80 LNG receiving terminals and 26 liquefaction terminals in operation worldwide.
The vessels’ improved cargo containment system has also enabled MISC to accommodate cargo loading operation at Floating LNG (FLNG) unit.
The MOSS-Type vessels have already received Green Passport Notification with an extended low-load gas mode, which allows the carriers to operate entirely on LNG for full compliance with existing and upcoming Sulphur Emissions Control Area (SECA) regulations.
