I saw this heading today in Bunkerworld email " Malaysia offshore operator order fuel efficient vessel", I just wonder who will that be...probably big guys.
It is good to know that Malaysian owner have decided to move forward in ordering ship that can save fuel and off course protect the environment. I believed what they talking about are those ship using diesel electric as propulsion mechanism. With charterer now become smarter, they are now realized that cost of chartering ship not only on her DCR but also include consumption cost. Hence, those vessel that can reduce the cost of fuel will get the upper hand to be chartered.
Looking back at others, I mean foreign owners, among those I really admired is Bourboun offshore, because they are not only dare enough to order ship with new design but also dare enough to become one of those early one to use diesel electric for ship propulsion. This happen few years back not now...Malaysian maybe not to late to apply the same technology and design.
What is next? after this, I guess the use of LNG as fuel.
