The hybrid-bunker tanker Marine Charge is estimated to achieve a 10% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions through the use of lithium-ion batteries and a highly automated power management system, according to Seatrade Maritime.
The vessel is classed with Bureau Veritas’ Electric-Hybrid notation and was built at Zhejiang Shenzhou Sunshine Heavy Industries in China.
A second tanker Marine Dynamo is set to be delivered in Q2 this year.
