The award was open to tankers delivered since November 2021 and engage in bulk liquid transport that sets new benchmarks in one, more, or all of the following areas: design, environmental, operational, safety, and technical performance.

Eagle Valence has been recognised for setting a new bar for vessels of its kind – it can run on LNG, powered by a WIN GD 7×82 dual-fuel engine. The vessel exceeds the EEDI Phase 2 reference line by more than 20% and supports AET’s goals of a 40% reduction in annual efficiency ratio Greenhouse Gas (GHG) intensity by 2030 and net-zero GHG emissions by 2050.

Capt. Rajalingam Subramaniam, AET President & CEO and MISC President/Group CEO said: “This award is a great recognition for AET and the entire MISC Group. Eagle Valence, together with her sister Eagle Vallery, represent a game changer in conventional shipping and their carbon footprint reduction is contributing to the Group’s sustainability goals. I would like to thank the TS&T organising team for providing this excellent platform, and the wider maritime community for your steadfast support and recognition of AET’s work that we do as a team.

Congratulations and a big thanks to all my colleagues at sea and ashore across the MISC Group and our partners for your continued support in making this achievement possible! This award is a testament to your hard work and dedication, to achieve excellence beyond our decarbonisation agenda. As a global leader in responsible and sustainable shipping, we will continue to innovate with like-minded partners to advance the Maritime’s decarbonisation progress ahead of 2050.”
