Hyundai Steel said it started to reduce its CO2 footprint through eco-friendly operation by chartering LNG ships for overseas raw material transportation.
On 24 November, the company announced that it took delivery of its bulk carrier HL Oceanic. The ship immediately started its first voyage to Australia from the Hyundai Samho Heavy Industries shipyard in Mokpo.
The vessel is a 180,000 deadweight tonnage ship that runs on LNG. Compared to existing ship oil, LNG can SOx, NOx, and CO2 by 99, 90, and 30 per cent, respectively.
