SINGAPORE's Pacific International Lines (PIL) has named its first 8,200 TEU LNG dual-fuel containership, Kota Oasis at the Yangzijiang Shipbuilding yard in China, according to the company's release.
'As the first Asian container shipping line to invest in LNG dual-fuel ships in 2022, we made a bold commitment to reduce our environmental footprint and achieving our net zero emissions target by 2050,' said pil chief executive Lars Kastrup.
This vessel is the first of four identical ships ordered by PIL from Yangzijiang Shipbuilding as part of the company's fleet optimization and sustainability efforts.
The Kota Oasis is PIL's fifth LNG dual-fuel vessel delivered since October 2024, joining four 14,000 TEU LNG ships. PIL has 13 additional LNG dual-fuel vessels on order.
Said Mr Kastrup: 'Together with the 14,000-TEU 'E' class vessels recently delivered, the 'O' class vessels will play a crucial role in enhancing our global connectivity and meeting the evolving needs of our customers.'
'O' class vessels can burn LNG and bio-methane fuels. They feature Win-GD XDF engines with iCER technology to reduce methane emissions and are equipped with ammonia intermediate-ready fuel tanks.
