GasLog to Take Delivery of Korean-Built LNGC
Monaco-based shipowner GasLog is scheduled to take delivery of the LNG carrier, GasLog Wales, from South Korean shipbuilder Samsung Heavy Industries on May 11, it said on May 7 in a statement.
The GasLog Wales is a 180,000 m3 LNG carrier with GTT’s Mark III Flex Plus containment system and X-DF propulsion. It will start a 12-year time charter agreement with Japan’s Jera, GasLog said.
GasLog took the first delivery of this year last month. It took delivery of the GasLog Windsor, a 180,000 m3 LNG carrier cargo capacity LNG carrier with similar X-DF propulsion and Mark III Flex containment system.
Despite the industrial disruption in South Korea caused by the Covid-19 outbreak, GasLog Windsor was delivered on time and on budget. It is on a seven-year charter with a wholly-owned subsidiary of Centrica.
