The National Navigation Company has received two new Kamsarmax bulk carriers, Wadi Al-Nil and Wadi Al-Qamar, from China's New Hantong Shipyard. Each vessel has a deadweight capacity of 82,000 tonnes, a length of 229 meters, a beam of 32.26 meters, and a draft of 14.5 meters.
Powered by a 7,490-kilowatt MAN B&W engine and equipped with a Selective Catalytic Reduction system, these vessels meet international environmental standards. They also feature ballast water management systems and advanced navigation technologies.
