24 percent reduction in hull resistance
In the statement made by Misha, it was reported that a record optimization was achieved in hull resistance and a reduction of 24 percent was achieved thanks to detailed CFD calculations. It was emphasized that this made the ship very economical in terms of fuel consumption, and it was reported that the ship’s Carbon Intensity Rating (CII) will be ‘A’ and that it will exhibit very low CO2 emissions.
