The company said that CLEANBU vessels are known for their design and demonstrate environmental performance, along with the technical and operational efficiency.
The vessels are both full-fledged LR1 product tankers and Kamsarmax bulk carriers.
CLEANBUs can transport clean petroleum products (CPP), heavy liquid cargoes, and all types of dry bulk products.
In comparison with standard vessels, CLEANBU vessels produce 40% less CO₂ per tonne mile transported cargo, which is in line with the International Maritime Organization’s 2030 targets for shipping.
