Mitsubishi Shipbuilding holds christening and launch ceremony for the TRANS HARMONY GREEN

Ro-roMitsubishi Shipbuilding Co., Ltd., held a christening and launch ceremony for the TRANS HARMONY GREEN, the first of two LNG-powered 3,000-CEU capacity PCTCs under construction for Toyofuji Shipping Co., Ltd. TRANS HARMONY GREEN will serve on routes in Asia after its scheduled handover in late January 2025.

The TRANS HARMONY GREEN is approximately 195 metres in overall length, approximately 30.6 metres in breadth, and has a gross tonnage of approximately 49,500. It can simultaneously transport about 3,000 passenger cars. The ship's main engine and main generator engine are dual-fuel engines, each accommodating LNG or diesel fuel. Together, MHI claims that these engines enable a greater than 25% reduction in CO₂ emissions compared to ships with the same hull and powered by fuel oil, cutting SOx (sulfur oxides) emissions to near zero, thereby helping to reduce the vessel's environmental footprint.
