On January 17th, BRILLIANT FUTURE, the first 36,000m³ dual-fuel liquefied ethylene gas (LEG) carrier built by Yangzi-Mitsui Shipbuilding under Yangzijiang Shipbuilding Group for a Norwegian shipowner, sailed away and started its maiden voyage.
“BRILLIANT FUTURE” successfully completed the sea trials on December 11, 2024, and all the performance indicators met the standard. On January 14, 2025, a naming and delivery ceremony was held for the vessel.
The vessel is optimized for compactness, flexibility and portability, while maximizing the use of cargo space. It is equipped with three large spherical head C-type tanks, which increases the cargo loading capacity by about 12%.
Equipped with an advanced dual-fuel main engine with high-efficiency CPP propellers and a full-suspension twisted rudder, the BRILLIANT FUTURE offers excellent propulsive efficiency while ensuring low emissions and environmental performance.
It is worth mentioning that this vessel is the first dual-fuel LEG carrier built by Yangzi Mitsui Shipbuilding, and as the first vessel to be delivered in 2025.
