MOL Receives Delivery Of Wood Chip Carrier ‘Vanguardia’ With Capacity Of 4.3 Million Cubic Feet
Mitsui O.S.K. Lines,Ltd (MOL) revealed that on August 10, the timber chip provider VANGUARDIA with a freight ability of 4.3 million cubic feet, was provided at Oshima Shipbuilding Co.,Ltd (Oshima Shipbuilding). MOL will certainly run the vessel, which transfers timber chips for Daio Paper Corporation.
The vessel is furnished with a SOx scrubber as well as Ballast Water Management System (BWMS) as well as in pre-compliance with the Energy Efficiency Design Index (EEDI) stage 3 to be in consistency with more stringent ecological policies (Note 1).
It additionally has eco-friendly specs in accordance with “MOL Group Environmental Vision 2.1” such as Seaworthy Bow (a bow form that minimizes the decrease in vessel rate throughout negative climate) as well as Advanced Flipper Fins (energy-saving tools to boost propulsion performance) which are Oshima

‘s modern technologies, Advanced Control for Ecology (ACE) (Note 2), a sophisticated hull form with an enhanced strict form, as well as Propeller Boss Cap Fins (PBCF) (Note 3) along with taking on an online regulated engine as well as low-friction ship base paint.
MOL constantly aims to supply secure as well as steady timber chip transportation solution for clients consisting of paper makers all over the world while looking after the atmosphere, as well as add to a steady supply of sources.
Outline of the vessel
- LOA: 209.96 m
- Breadth: 37.00 m
- Depth: 22.80 m
- Cargo hold ability: 4,237,833 cubic feet

Emissions policies:
Regulations to avoid air contamination produced by seller vessels were developed in Annex VI provided in 2005 of the MARPOL Treaty taken on by the International Maritime Organization (IMO). Since after that, discharges policies have actually been enhanced on a worldwide range. Starting in January 2020, the allowed sulfur material in ship gas oil as a whole sea locations has actually been lowered to 0.5% or much less. This will certainly need using regulation-compliant shelter oil or installment as well as use SOx scrubbers on vessels.
The Ballast Water Management Convention:
A September 2017 treaty calls for the control as well as monitoring of ballast water as well as debris discharges. Ballast water, which is taken onboard to support vessel, can relocate marine microorganisms to non-native environments, where they could endanger biodiversity as well as injury regional communities. Vessels from nations validating the treaty are needed to mount an IMO-certified BWMS (Ballast Water Management System) to guarantee that the variety of aquatic microorganisms included in ballast water is listed below the controlled degree.
Energy Efficiency Design Index:
Carbon dioxide (CARBON MONOXIDE 2) discharges when delivering 1 heap freight in one mile. In EEDI Phase3 which will certainly apply to timber chip service providers acquired after 2025, the vessels will certainly be needed to in theory attain a 30% decrease in carbon monoxide 2 discharges from the EEDI standard in their style stage.
(Note 2)
Advanced Control for Ecology (ACE) approximates disruption results such as wind as well as trend by establishing the vessel’s program instructions, as well as ideally manages the helm to decrease path variance as well as minimize the variety of program adjustments needed throughout a trip, accomplishing decreases in gas intake.
(Note 3)
Propeller Boss Cap Fins (PBCF) is an energy-saving system to boost prop performance as well as minimize vessel gas intake, as well as was established by a team of business consisting of MOL.
