Imabari Shipbuilding has delivered the NORD TRAMP, a 181,000-deadweight bulk carrier, from its Saijo Shipyard on October 9.
The vessel, designed under the Common Structural Rules for Bulk Carriers and Oil Tankers (CSR BC&OT), represents the largest ship size permitted to enter Dunkirk Port. Each cargo hold includes topside and hopper tanks, making the ship suitable for carrying dry bulk cargoes such as coal and iron ore. The design also allows for segregated loading of high-density cargo up to 3.0 t/m³, ensuring flexibility and efficiency in operation.
To meet the IMO’s latest environmental regulations, NORD TRAMP is equipped with a range of advanced emission-reduction systems. These include an exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) system for the main engine, a selective catalytic reduction (SCR) unit for the power generator, and an exhaust gas cleaning system (EGCS) to cut sulfur oxide (SOx) emissions.
The vessel also features several energy-saving technologies, such as propeller-area additives and low-friction hull coatings that improve propulsion efficiency. Together, these measures allow the ship to meet IMO’s CO₂ emission Phase 3 standards ahead of schedule. Ballast water treatment equipment and an inventory of hazardous materials, in line with the Ship Recycling Convention, are also fitted to ensure environmental compliance.
