The vessel distinguishes itself through multi-cargo functionality, designed to transport both LNG and ammonia. By utilizing high-manganese steel cargo containment, known as Mc-C, the ship allows owners to adapt to future alternative fuels with minimal structural modifications. This flexibility is paired with a hybrid electric propulsion system that integrates an Energy Storage System with Onshore Power Supply to significantly reduce emissions during coastal operations.
