MOL Names Two LNG Vessels for Tokyo Gas
Japan’s Mitsui OSK Lines (MOL) April 24 held a naming ceremony for two newbuilding LNG carriers for Tokyo Gas at the Tsu Shipyard of Japan Marine United Corporation.
The two vessels, named Energy Innovator and Energy Universe, will transport LNG from the Cove Point LNG project in the US to Tokyo Gas, MOL said April 25. The two vessels are capable of transporting up to 165,000 m3 of LNG.
The vessels are the 10th and 11th LNG carriers that Tokyo LNG Tanker owns and manages. MOL said it is involved in the management of eight of those ships, including the two newbuilding carriers.
