Japan's NYK Line, Edison Ink LNG Carrier Charter
Japan’s NYK Line has signed a contract with Italian Edison to charter out a newly built LNG carrier for up to 20 years, including optional extension periods, it said April 10.
The vessel, with holding capacity of 174,000 m3, is scheduled for delivery in 2022 from Hyundai Samho Heavy Industries. The carrier will be propelled by WinGD-manufactured, dual-fuel slow-speed diesel engines and will also feature an Air Liquide–manufactured Turbo-Brayton refrigeration system that can tap surplus boil-off gas, NYK said.
Manufactured by GTT, the 174,000 m3 capacity membrane-type tank will be made of advanced insulating materials that reduce the vaporisation rate.
