The two companies reached deals for ‘new declaration and delivery dates of the current outstanding options’ for building four CLEANBU combination carriers.
The six options include fixed priced contracts and expiry dates between February next year and January 2021. Delivery dates are scheduled for the period between September 2021 to November 2022.
KCC’s combination carriers transport both wet and dry bulk cargos. The company uses the CLEANBU vessels to carry both clean petroleum products and heavy liquid cargos such as caustic soda solution.
These vessels produce low CO₂ emissions compared to standard vessels. They are also designed to meet the International Maritime Organization’s (IMO) 2050 targets to reduce CO emissions from shipping by at least 50%.
