Pangaea Logistics, announced that M/V Nordic Nuluujaak, the first Ice Class 1A Post Panamax dry bulk vessel in a series of four ships being built for Pangaea at Guangzhou International Shipyard in China, has been delivered to its Danish subsidiary, Nordic Bulk Carriers says a press release published on PR Newswire website.
Safe & efficient trade
“This is a big step, and a proud day, for us,” commented Ed Coll, Pangaea’s Chief Executive Officer.
“The combination of partners that came together to construct these high specification vessels, designed to trade safely and efficiently in challenging Arctic conditions, is truly remarkable. Our long-time customer, Baffinland Iron Mines, expressed a need for special tonnage to carry the highest grade iron ore to market, and their cargo commitment sparked our newbuilding contract with GSI Shipyard, supported by SDARI, that designed and built an excellent ship.
Support from CSSC & Hudson
CSSC Shipping backed up the project with a great financing offer, and Hudson Structured Capital Management helped complete an ownership structure that allowed us to extend our initial two-ship contract to four ships, which are being delivered at just the right time in the market.
Along the way, we have been expertly assisted by many others who have worked in challenging situations caused by the Covid-19 pandemic. We truly appreciate everyone’s efforts and look forward to the delivery of the remaining three vessels.”
Technology to reduce Nitric oxide emission
The engine room is fitted with TIER III NOX reducing technology that significantly reduces the nitric oxide emissions and today meets the air pollution requirements of tomorrow. Further, the most modern paints are used, for reduced environmental impact and friction underwater, to improve fuel economy. Nordic Nuluujaak, and its sister ships, will comply with environmental regulations scheduled to come into force in coming years.
“These vessels expand our ice-class fleet to twelve modern ships between 60,000 dwt and 95,000 dwt. They will work hard to serve our customer requirements, and we will operate them in a manner that fully respects the special areas in which they will trade”, said Mr. Coll.
