The MSC Isabella was built by South Korean shipbuilder Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering and, like MSC’s other mega-ship new builds, has been designed with the latest eco-friendly technologies, such as an optimized bulbous bow and rubber bulb lower resistance while sailing, which further enhances energy efficiency.
Yj Tan, Regional Managing Director, MSC Asia Regional Office, Singapore, said the vessel’s route, “demonstrates our continued commitment to this largest and busiest trade corridor.
“We are delighted to welcome the first port call in Singapore by MSC Isabella from our largest Gülsün-Class of ships.”
What is more, MSC Isabella is fitted with an IMO-approved hybrid exhaust gas cleaning system and has the option of switching to low-sulfur fuel or to be adapted for LNG use in the future, complying with the upcoming IMO sulphur cap 2020.
