Among the vessels most recently delivered by the company are now in operation in countries such as Brunei, the UK, the UAE, Taiwan, Thailand, and South Korea.

The signing also signifies a unified approach towards NetZero goals established globally and support Japan in their track towards reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 46% by 2030.
