This means that the total value of the 12 new vessels will be $800 million once the order options are fully confirmed.   Rio Tinto has previously stated that the company is committed to achieving IMO's goal of reducing emissions by 40% by 2030 and its own long-term goal of achieving net-zero carbon transportation by 2050.   Source: Sarah Yu, XINDE MARINE NEWS The opinions expressed herein are the author's and not necessarily those of The Xinde Marine News.
