Green Mile is equipped with a MAN B&W 6S50ME-B9.3 diesel engine, which functions as the main engine.

The ship can sail at a speed of nearly 14.5k and accommodate 25 crew members.

Registered in Panama, the vessel has been classified by the American Bureau of Shipping (ABS).

It will be used by Sakae Shipping to carry grains, coal, ores and steel products.

For this purpose, the ship includes a flush deck with forecastle and five holds.

Furthermore, for allowing cargo loading and unloading in ports that lack the necessary handling facilities, Green Mile has been loaded with four 30t deck cranes.

These cranes are placed along the centre of the vessel, in between the hatch covers.

To enable improved propulsion performance, it has been equipped with high propulsion efficiency propellers, the Kawasaki rudder bulb system with fins (RBS-F) and a semi-duct system with contra fins (SDS-F).

The newbuild is also installed with several capabilities for reaching maximum fuel economy, including an energy-saving, electronically-controlled main diesel engine.

Last November, KHI delivered a bulk carrier for Fair Wind Marshall named GCL Hazira.
