The 174 000 m3 vessel with efficient XDF propulsion is being constructed at Hyundai Heavy Industries (HHI). The company has now secured term employment for 10 of its 11 X Carrier Series vessels and maintains options for further growth.

We are grateful for the trust Vitol have placed in us as their shipping provider of choice for the safe and reliable delivery of LNG to their customers.”
