NYK Names LNG Dual-Fuel Carrier in South Korea
Japanese shipping company NYK has named a new dual-fuel LNG carrier that will transport LNG for the Cameron LNG project in the US.
The naming ceremony of 174,000 m3 LNG carrier, Diamond Gas Nexus, was held at HD Hyundai Samho in South Korea on September 18, NYK said in an announcement today.
The vessel is chartered on a long-term time-charter contract to Diamond Global Energy (DGE), a Singapore-based wholly owned subsidiary of Mitsubishi Corporation.
It is equipped with WinGD dual-fuel marine engine.
“The vessel is equipped with the latest WinGD dual-fuel slow-speed diesel engine, which can use both fuel oil and boil-off as fuel,” NYK said.
“In addition, the vessel is equipped with a sub-cooler that cools the cargo and suppresses the generation of excess boil-off gas, thereby improving transportation efficiency and reducing environmental impact.”
