Its hybrid propulsion system is designed to reduce bunker fuel consumption by 25% and cut emissions by 40% . CSL plans for the vessel to operate fully on electric power by 2031 , which could reduce emissions by more than 90% . “ MV Yampu is the result of a close collaboration between the CSL and Adbri teams, reflecting both companies’ shared commitment to innovation, operational excellence, and the decarbonisation of the maritime industry,” the company said.
