Zero-emission electric-powered tanker

The two tankers, adopting the "e5 tanker" design developed by e5 Lab Inc., will be powered by large-capacity lithium ion batteries. They will achieve zero emissions of CO2, NOx, SOx, and particulates thanks to their all-electric core energy system, dramatically reducing their environmental impact. In addition, their reduced noise and vibration will create a more comfortable work environment for the crewmembers and limit noise pollution in the bay and its surroundings.
They will be being built at Koa Sangyo Co., Ltd. and Imura Shipyard KK to be delivered in March 2022 and March 2023 respectively.
