PADMA LEADER
NYK Line takes delivery of PADMA LEADER
Ro-roNippon Yusen Kabushiki Kaisha (NYK Line) has taken delivery of its latest LNG-dual fuel-powered PCTC, the PADMA LEADER, from Imabari Shipbuilding. The vessel, built at Tadotsu Shipbuilding, a subsidiary of the Imabari Group, strengthens NYK Line’s growing fleet of low-emission car carriers.
The 18,505 dwt Japan-flagged PADMA LEADER has a capacity of 7,000 CEU and measuring 199.93 metres in length and 38 metres in beam. The ship has been classed by ClassNK.
PADMA LEADER features a system that allows boil-off gas (BOG) generated during LNG storage to be redirected and reused in the vessel’s generators and boilers. This setup improves fuel efficiency and contributes to additional emission reductions.
PADMA LEADER follows sister vessels DAISY LEADER, SWEET PEA LEADER, and TURQUOISE ACE, all delivered during the past two years.
