Mitsubishi Shipbuilding is set to supply the LNG supply system for six new gas-powered car carriers.
The duel-fuelled ships will be built by Imabari Shipbuilding, Mitsubishi said in a statement on its website on Friday. Mitsubishi will supply the fuel tanks, gas supply units and a control unit.

"As a marine system integrator, the company will promote decarbonization in the maritime industry and strive to achieve carbon neutrality by helping to reduce GHG emissions through the popularization of LNG-fuelled vessels for reducing environmental impact on a global scale."
