The 64,000-dwt vessel concept is designed to accommodate propulsion systems running on methanol, ammonia or LNG, LR said in a press release on Wednesday.
The vessel design is also suitable for the installation of a carbon capture and storage system.
LR reviewed the design under its ShipRight framework to assess the safety and integration of the fuel and carbon capture systems.
