According to the union, the vessel remains in an area repeatedly targeted by Russian missile and drone strikes, leaving the crew under constant threat.
Wärtsilä’s hybrid propulsion system will enable Aasen Shipping to optimise operations, save fuel and enhance environmental sustainability for its six new bulk carriers.
The planned engine retrofits and upgrades will extend the vessels' operational life and improve both performance and fuel efficiency, thereby significantly reducing emissions.
The vessel is expected to achieve about 6-10% fuel and GHG emissions reductions on the Brazil to Far East routes, combined with voyage optimization technology.
