The 170.9m-long and 27m-wide hull of the Greenlotus has been optimised for energy efficient operation using computational fluid dynamics and finite element analysis.

The vessel has a propulsion arrangement based around a de-rated, tier three-compliant MAN B&W SG50ME-B9 two-stroke main engine driving a large-diameter, fixed-pitch propeller.

Newport Shipping general manager captain Aykut Yilmaz said: "From cost and energy efficiency perspectives, it makes a lot of sense for ship owners to reconsider their aging Handies in favour of the Greenlotus 32.
