The 24th ship of Mitsui Engineering & Shipbuilding’s eco-ship neo60BC class has a market value of USD 26.4 million.

The Singapore-flagged ship, which has a capacity of 76,121 m3, is equipped with four cranes and five cargo holds. 

It is designed for loading various cargos like coal, ore, grain, as well as lengthy/heavy cargo such as steel pipe and hot coil.
