Safe Bulkers, Inc. announced that it has entered into an agreement for the acquisition of a Japanese, 82 000 DWT, dry-bulk, kamsarmax class vessel with a scheduled delivery date within 3Q26.
The newbuild vessel was designed to meet the Phase three requirements of Energy Efficiency Design Index related to the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions (GHG -EEDI Phase three) as adopted by the International Maritime Organisation, (IMO) and also comply with the latest NOx emissions regulation, NOx-Tier III (NOx-Tier III). This newbuild vessel is a sister vessel to a number of newbuilds in Safe Bulkers' orderbook with advanced energy efficiency characteristics resulting in lower fuel consumption.
The company has already taken delivery of seven IMO GHG Phase three – NOx Tier III vessels. Including this agreement, the company has an outstanding orderbook of nine Phase three newbuild vessels, two of which are methanol dual-fuelled, with scheduled deliveries three in 2024, two in 2025, three in 2026, and one in 2027.
Dr. Loukas Barmparis, President of the company commented: “Consistent with our ESG strategy, we have placed an additional order for a Phase three newbuild targeting a gradual fleet renewal and the subsequent operational and financial advantages associated with it.”
