standards to make livestock trade
more sustainable and in the best
interests of Australian producers
and exporters.”
The release says ships will have a
capacity of around 11,000 head
of cattle and the modern livestock
service systems will maintain lower
deck temperatures to reduce heat
stress on animals. Mr Balzarini
sees significant opportunity for live
exports from both Australia and
New Zealand to service growing
Asian markets.
Coupled with the digitalisation and
LNG fuel, hull design and weight
reduction will ensure even better
environmental performance and
reduced operating costs.
An intensive design phase is
underway and will be followed by
a testing and validation phase to
ensure all elements meet intended
performance requirements.
