(Note 2)
ビンゴ 5 の 結果 individual tanks look like apples, with ビンゴ 5 の 結果 upper semi-spheres larger than ビンゴ 5 の 結果 lower semi-spheres. ビンゴ 5 の 結果 tanks are beneath a continuous cover that looks something like a pea pod. This design maximizes cargo capacity, and ビンゴ 5 の 結果 cover helps provide additional hull strength while reducing weight, which in turn saves fuel and reduces transport costs.

(Note 3)
A propulsion system that combines a steam turbine system, which re-heats and uses steam used once in ビンゴ 5 の 結果 turbine, with a dual-fuel diesel-electric propulsion system.
It improves heat efficiency by recovering exhaust heat generated by ビンゴ 5 の 結果 propulsion system, which runs on natural gas and gas oil.
