On March 24, Hudong-Zhonghua Shipbuilding, a subsidiary of CSSC, and China Shipbuilding Trading delivered the third 174,000 m3 large-scale LNG carrier "KUN LUN" for COSCO SHIPPING PetroChina International's LNG transportation project. This is the first large LNG carrier delivered in China this year.
