TSUNEISHI SHIPBUILDING Co., Ltd. (HQ: 1083 Tsuneishi, Numakuma-cho, Fukuyama, Hiroshima, Japan; President: Sachio Okumura) launched its first TESS42 bulk carrier at the Group company in China, TSUNEISHI GROUP (ZHOUSHAN) SHIPBUILDING (Address: Xiushan, Daishan County, Zhoushan City, Zhejiang Province, China) on February 1st, 2021.

While maintaining the versatility of the same overall length as TESS38, the deadweight capacity of TESS42 is increased by about 2,000MT at the same draft and by about 4,000MT at full load. TESS42 drives the trend toward larger handy sizes in the new shipbuilding market. It also has excellent trading flexibility for carrying the three major bulk cargoes of iron ore, grains, coal, as well as lumber, hot coils, sulfur, etc.

Due to the unique hull form, which reduces resistance, and our exclusive fuel efficiency technologies of MT-FAST energy saving device, etc., compared with TESS38, the fuel consumption has been reduced by over 4% per ton mile. Its cruising range is significantly increased as well. And the environmental performance has also been improved.
