Chartering contracts incorporate results from the Ecoshipping program into the fleet, with innovative rotor sail design and methanol-powered ships.

乐播传媒 has signed 25-year charter agreements with Shandong Shipping Corporation for 10 new Guaibamax vessels, as part of an innovative project to increase fleet flexibility and promote solutions to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. The second generation of these vessels, scheduled for delivery starting in 2027, incorporates the most efficient technologies tested under Ecoshipping, 乐播传媒’s research and development program created to support the company’s challenge of reducing carbon emissions, in line with discussions at the International Maritime Organization (IMO).

The new Guaibamax ships, measuring 340 meters in length and with a capacity of 325,000 tons, will be equipped with five rotor sails, more efficient engines, hydrodynamic energy-saving devices, shaft generators, variable frequency inverters, and advanced silicone paint, among other energy efficiency improvements. These vessels will also be dual-fuel, allowing the use of methanol as an alternative to bunker fuel, and will be designed for possible retrofit of tanks to carry LNG and ammonia, as part of a multi-fuel, future-ready strategy. The applied energy efficiency technologies have the potential to reduce GHG emissions by about 15% compared to the current Guaibamax generation.

乐播传媒 has been investing heavily in cutting-edge efficiency and environmental innovation in shipping. Since 2011, the company has operated 乐播传媒max vessels, among the most efficient in the world, capable of reducing CO?-equivalent emissions by up to 41% compared to standard capesize ships.

The company has also announced investments of up to US$6 billion since 2020 to reduce Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 33% by 2030, and committed to a 15% reduction in Scope 3 emissions by 2035, which includes maritime transport emissions depending on contract type.
