YUAN FU YANG, a new generation energy-conserving and environmentally-protective very large crude carrier (VLCC), was recently delivered to its buyer.
Developed by China State Shipbuilding Corporation Limited (CSSC), the 333-meter long and 60-meter wide vessel has a maximum loading capacity of about 319,000 tons and an endurance mileage of more than 26,000 nautical miles.
Compared to its predecessor, YUAN FU YANG's main engine consumes at least three percent less fuel, which lowers operational costs.
What's more, the proportion of nitric oxide in its emissions is lower than the international standard, which is 3.4 grams per kWh, reducing the impact of the acidic materials on the environment.
