According to probunkers, the signing of this LOI follows a long optimisation process during which the company’s technical team reviewed over 30 ship design proposals to serve the purpose of the project. This involved organisations including the American Bureau of Shipping (ABS), leading design, engineering and manufacturing companies, as well as experienced seafarers who have all followed the developments in the world of LNG as fuel.
Alexander Prokopakis, probunkers CEO, said: “Having reached an initial agreement with HMD is a major milestone in our project that underlines our aim towards quality and reliability, cornerstones in probunkers’ philosophy, while at the same time demonstrates the confidence of all stakeholders in the success of our plan and the importance of it.”
