Commitment to Sustainability
EXMAR is proud to announce the delivery of the 88,000 m³ LPG/C FLANDERS INNOVATION from Jiangnan Shipyard, China. Being the world's first-ordered, most efficient and largest dual fuel VLPG carrier in the world, her successful delivery underlines EXMAR’s ability to innovate and improve industry standards. Being a future-driven company, EXMAR took on a serious challenge with this innovative project of this size during a global pandemic. As the first of two new built Very Large Gas Carriers (VLGCs), the delivery of FLANDERS INNOVATION is revisiting market standards in terms of ecological impact, ship design and operations, by complying with and even surpassing stringent IMO rules and regulations.
In addition to its remarkable size, the vessel’s unique dual-fuelled LPG engines greatly reduce CO2 emissions by about 38% compared to the IMO reference lines for VLGCs. During the construction and the design of the vessel, special attention has been given to energy efficiency and minimising environmental impact, adding several ECO-friendly Class Notation features and selecting equipment with power saving in mind. This future-proof effort underlines EXMAR’s commitment to sustainability and innovation
