LNG Dual‑Fuel Kamsarmax Added to GCL Portfolio
Japan’s Tsuneishi Shipbuilding has delivered Oceana Frontier, described as the world’s first LNG dual‑fuel Kamsarmax bulk carrier.
The vessel is owned by Kambara Kisen, part of the Tsuneishi Group, and has been chartered by Global Chartering Limited (GCL).
GCL has taken the vessel on a five‑year time charter, supporting its long‑term chartering strategy and commitment to modern, fuel‑efficient tonnage.
Oceana Frontier is equipped with a dual‑fuel main engine capable of operating on LNG as its primary fuel. A key design feature is the aft‑deck‑mounted LNG fuel tank, utilizing an independent Type C pressure tank configuration, manufactured in‑house by Tsuneishi.
The delivery reflects ongoing progress in low‑emission vessel design and aligns with GCL’s focus on operational efficiency and sustainability.
