ESL Shipping’s LNG-Powered Dry Cargo Vessel ‘Haaga’ Launched Successfully
ESL Shipping’s LNG-powered, extremely energy efficient dry cargo vessel Haaga was successfully launched today at the Jinling Shipyard and moved to the outfitting quay. Sister vessel Viikki was launched at the end of August and the work has progressed as expected at the outfitting quay.
Haaga and its sister vessel Viikki are first LNG-powered handy-size bulk carriers in the world.
The 160-meter vessels of 25,600 dwt fueled by liquefied natural gas produces more than 50 percent lower carbon dioxide emissions than vessels of the previous generation. They will start operating on the Baltic Sea during the first half of 2018.
