Japan's Universal Shipbuilding announced Tuesday it has started marketing the next generation 209,000-dwt capesize bulker, as the first of the "G (Green) Bulker Series", which reduces greenhouse gas emissions by 25%. 

Hull was optimized by introducing new "LEADGE-Bow" and propulsion efficiency was improved through SSD and Surf-Bulb. 

In addition, an electricity controlled engine, waste heat recovery system and optimized route search system help the new 209,000-dwt bulker cut fuel consumption compared to Universal’s existing 202,000-dwt bulker.
