Build large cargo ships to save on CO2 emissions

Japan Heavy Industries (MHI), a Japanese heavy equipment manufacturer, says it is building a large tonnage carrier, which can reduce CO ₂ emissions by 25 percent compared to regular cargo ships.

MHI will also build three large cargo ships under this design, for Archer Daniels Midland (ADM), USA. These large cargo ships will be built at the Oshima Shipyard in Nagasaki, Japan.

The design of this large cargo ship is integrated with Mitsubishi's air lubrication system (MALS), which uses the air bubbles produced by the downstream wind turbine, which reduces friction between ship hull and sea water.

Three large transport ships also have a new bow-shaped bow design that will reduce the resistance of the waves. For propulsion, the vessel is fitted with a system that effectively converts the main engine power into propulsion power by forming fins in the front of the propellers and creating special grooves on the propellers. the main propeller.

Three large tonnage ships will have a tonnage of 95,000 (DWT), each of which will be 237m in length, 40m in width, 12.5m in height, according to the design draft.

Company MHI is committed to continue the development of these ships would follow the trend of reduction of emissions of CO ₂ and plans to focus on designing ship-friendly ecological environment, by integrating the system Systems and equipment related to this goal.
