On 28 December, the groundbreaking ceremony was held for the third liquified natural gas (LNG) carrier built by the Chinese shipyard Hudong-Zhonghua Shipbuilding for the leasing entity of the CSSC Group.
The ship is the third 174,000 cubic metres LNG carrier built for the leasing entity, following
MU LAN and Guiying.
All three ships are Hudong Zhonghua's fourth-generation LNG ship type X-DF series, which is propelled by dual-fuel low-speed diesel engines and equipped with environmental protection selective catalytic reduction (SCR) device.
According to Hudong Zhonghua, both fuel and gas modes can meet the most stringent International Maritime Organization IMO TIER III environmental protection requirements and meet the IMO's most stringent emission standards.
The
tank design for the new LNG carrier was ordered from French LNG containment specialist GTT. Additionally, the tank will include the GTT
NO96 L03+ membrane containment system.
