Tsuneishi Shipbuilding has unveiled an LNG dual-fuel kamsarmax bulker design as well as set up a Japanese hydrogen joint venture with Belgian shipowner CMB.

The Japanese shipbuilder has received approval in principle for the 85,000-dwt bulker design from classification society Lloyd’s Register.

Tsuneishi said the vessel design includes a fuel gas supply system (FGSS) and a type-C LNG tank, meaning LNG fuel can be used and stored with “limited impact on cargo capacity”.
