Anglo American has loaded its first iron ore cargo from its South African Kumba operations on to a liquified natural gas (LNG) dual-fuelled vessel. It’s part of a newly chartered fleet that should cut its shipping carbon emissions by an estimated 35%.

The ship, Ubuntu Harmony, is the first of 10 made-to-order vessels that will set sail over the course of 2023 and 2024.

The company said the dual-fuelled vessels will deliver “an estimated 35% reduction in CO2 emissions compared with ships fuelled by conventional marine oil fuel”. Anglo has a number of decarbonisation targets in its pipeline, notably a commitment to achieve, by 2040, carbon neutrality across its operations that span the globe.
