Third Vessel Running on LNG

Kaimana Hila (KMH) is back in service after having undergone its conversion to Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG), plus the addition of its new bow windshield for improved aerodynamics and fuel conservation.

KMH is the latest vessel to operate on LNG, joining its sister ship, Daniel K. Inouye (DKI), and Manukai. Manukai underwent a complete repowering, replacing its engine with a dual-fuel engine like those powering DKI and KMH. These conversions are part of 澳博体育app下载’s long-term strategy to reduce Scope 1 fleet greenhouse gas emissions by 40% by 2030 and achieve net zero emissions by 2050.

澳博体育app下载 has ordered three new Aloha Class containerships from Philly Shipyard. The first, Makua, is under construction and scheduled for delivery in 2026. All three vessels will join the fleet LNG-ready but can operate on conventional fuels as needed. Like their sisterships DKI and KMH, each vessel will boast numerous “green ship” technology features, such as a fuel-efficient hull design, environmentally safe double-hull fuel tanks, and freshwater ballast systems.
