Anglo American loads first LNG dual-fuelled vessel in chartered fleet, cutting emissions by up to 35%

Anglo American announces that its newly launched LNG dual-fuelled Capesize+ vessel, the Ubuntu
Harmony, has loaded its first cargo of iron ore from its Kumba operations in South Africa.

The vessel is the first of ten LNG dual-fuelled new-build ships that Anglo American will introduce to its
chartered fleet during the course of 2023 and 2024, delivering an estimated 35% reduction in CO2
emissions compared to ships fuelled by conventional marine oil fuel. The use of LNG will also lead to a
significant reduction of nitrogen oxides and particulate matter from vessel exhausts, while new
technology also eliminates the release of unburnt methane.

The Ubuntu fleet is a key component of Anglo American’s ambition to achieve carbon-neutrality for its
controlled ocean freight by 2040 – with an interim target to reduce emissions from these activities by
30% by 2030 – all part of Anglo American’s wider ambition to halve Scope 3 emissions by 2040.

Peter Whitcutt, CEO of Anglo American’s Marketing business, said: “We are proud to see the Ubuntu
Harmony begin its voyage transporting future-enabling products from our mines to our customers around
the world. This milestone cements our vision to be a leader in low carbon shipping, a natural extension
of our commitment to achieve carbon neutrality across our operations by 2040.”

Nolitha Fakude, Chairperson of Anglo American’s Management Board in South Africa, said: “The metals
and minerals we provide play an important role in helping key industries decarbonise. Transporting them
in a sustainable way is a key part of this effort and the introduction of the Ubuntu fleet – named after the
Zulu word meaning ‘humanity to others’ – helps us accelerate our transition to sustainable ocean freight.”

Anglo American has established a comprehensive framework of initiatives for the decarbonisation of its
maritime activities, including energy saving devices fitted to existing vessels, the use of voyage
optimisation software, and a focus on exploring, trialling and adopting alternative, sustainable fuel
options – such as LNG, sustainable biofuel, green methanol and ammonia, and – further down the line –
hydrogen.

Notes to editors:

The Ubuntu Harmony is a 190,000 tonne bulk carrier, flagged in Singapore – the first such LNG dual-
fuelled vessel on the country’s register – and is designed to be larger than, but as flexible as, a
conventional Capesize vessel. The Ubuntu Harmony was built by Shanghai Waigaoqiao Shipbuilding and
is owned by U-Ming Marine Transport.

The vessel completed bunkering in Singapore in early January with LNG provided by Shell Eastern LNG. It
arrived in Saldanha Bay, South Africa on 19 January to load a full cargo of iron ore that will be transported
to customers in China. The Ubuntu Harmony will be followed by its sister ship Ubuntu Equality, the fleet’s
second vessel, which is expected to load her first cargo in February in South Africa.
