CSL Takes Delivery of Methanol-Ready Bulker
Maritime firm CSL Group has taken delivery of the self-unloading bulk carrier from YAMIC Shipyard, suitable for conversion to methanol propulsion.
The CSL Kuleana is the fourth of five Kamsarmax newbuilds being introduced into the CSL International Pool fleet, as per a press release issued on Wednesday.
The vessel features a fourth-generation Kamsarmax hull design that exceeds EEDI Level III requirements and is fitted with Tier III, methanol-ready engines.
It is also equipped for shore power connections to help reduce emissions while in port.
With a cargo capacity of 72,250 mt and a self-unloading rate of up to 5,000 mt/hour, the vessel is designed for a wide range of dry bulk trades.
The methanol-ready notation indicates the ship has been designed to allow future conversion to methanol propulsion.
While such notations are becoming more common, actual conversions remain rare across the industry.
