Klaveness Combination Carriers ASA (KCC) recently received the final vessel in its third-generation CABU program, MV Baltazar, from New Yangzi Shipyard in China. The new 19th vessel in KCC's fleet is equipped with a wind-assisted propulsion system and advanced energy efficiency technologies, including an air lubrication system, an EcoEGR fuel-optimized main engine, and two bound4blue eSAIL® suction sails, making it the first vessel in KCC's fleet to utilize wind-assisted propulsion technology.
With these features, MV Baltazar is expected to reduce KCC's carbon footprint by around 35% and increase its earnings capacity by approximately 20% compared to KCC's first-generation CABU vessels. After completing its maiden voyage, KCC will hold a naming ceremony for MV Baltazar in Fremantle, Western Australia on September 9th.
