In this episode of Future Bound, join KCC’s CEO, Engebret Dahm, and VP Global Head of CLEANBU Chartering, Snorre Blix, navigating the CLEANBU journey five years after delivery of the first vessel and 10 years after the work on the CLEANBUs was initiated.
After decades of switching from caustic soda solution on one leg to all sorts of dry bulk products on the return leg with the CABU vessels, Klaveness decided to expand the combination carrier concept into the clean petroleum product industry with the CLEANBU vessels. It has been a lot of hard work, a lot of “try a little, learn a lot”, a lot of value creation for customers and investors and a lot of fun.
Discussion points include:
Rethinking shipping, reducing inefficiencies in shipping
What is a CLEANBU: Vessel capabilities and operations
Challenges and successes during the first five years
Creating value for the customer
The value of decarbonization
Further development and potential growth
