"The christening of the Blissful Future is a moment of great pride for us and marks another important milestone in the Seas of the Future project. With this new vessel, we are putting into practice Braskem's commitment to logistics efficiency, increased competitiveness, and the reduction of emissions associated with global maritime transport," says Hardi Schuck, the project lead.

The Blissful Future combines high performance with environmental innovations at a length of 228 meters and a cargo capacity of 89, 500 m³. These new vessels are designed to reduce CO² emissions by approximately 30% compared to the average of the fleet currently operated by the company. To enable this higher level of sustainability, the ship features a high-efficiency main engine capable of running on biofuels and is equipped with state-of-the-art technologies, such as a scrubber system to reduce sulfur oxide (SOx) emissions and an SCR system to mitigate nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions. The vessel also features an ultra-low-friction hull coating, VFD systems, and advanced propulsion solutions-such as a Pre-Swirl Duct and a Twisted Rudder-that optimize navigation performance, thereby increasing operational efficiency and reducing energy consumption.

The LR1-class vessels play a strategic role in transporting naphtha for Braskem's industrial operations, serving the route between the U.S. Gulf Coast (USGC) and Brazil. Once completed, the series of four vessels will have the capacity to handle 40% to 50% of the company's naphtha import demand.
