The Japanese classification society ClassNK has examined the operational and environmental performance of a recently delivered dual-fuel liquefied petroleum gas (LPG)/ammonia carrier, seeking to confirm whether the unit can ‘successfully’ contribute to green transition efforts.
As disclosed, the society evaluated the newbuilding christened Crystal Odyssey under the “Zero-emission Accelerating Ship Finance” program, jointly operated by ClassNK and the Development Bank of Japan (DBJ), which provided financing to the unit’s owner, Kumiai Navigation.
