New ultramax design provides 50% reduction in EEDI

Press Release: Oshima and DNV GL, together with Wärtsilä, have teamed up on an ultramax design that maximizes the use of today’s technology.

The Ultramax 2030 design uses LNG as fuel, an optimized hull shape, and a hard sail to generate extra propulsion. Solar panels and batteries are included to cover the hotel load during waiting and port operations. The design also includes a shaft generator with a battery pack and two-stroke or four-stroke main engine alternatives. Together, these features are capable of meeting future IMO emission reduction targets.

Up to the challenge – read how the project partners are working together to meet crucial IMO emission reduction goals.
