The 210,000-dwt bulk carrier, Mount Etna, can run on both LNG and conventional marine fuels. It will be chartered out for a period of 24 months with an evergreen structure. This means the charter agreement will renew automatically at the end of the term.

Last month, the company took delivery of first two vessels of the series - Mount Norefjell and Mount Ita. It expects to take delivery of another three vessels by the end of this year, and the remaining six vessels by the third quarter of 2024.
