On 3 December 2024, the newly built LNG carrier Elisa Ardea was officially delivered. The vessel is owned by France LNG Shipping, a joint venture between NYK and Geogas LNG, and under a long-term charter contract with EDF LNG Shipping. The vessel was built at Hyundai Samho Heavy Industries.
Elisa Ardea will be chartered to the EDF Group long-term (up to 20 years, including extension options) and will be engaged in LNG transportation under the ship management of Gazocean, a French ship-management company.
Elisa Ardea is propelled by, dual-fuel slow-speed diesel engines manufactured by WinGD and features an advanced Turbo-Brayton refrigeration system developed by Air Liquide, which efficiently utilises surplus boil-off gas. The 174 000 m3 capacity membrane-type tank, designed by GTT, is constructed using high-performance insulating materials that reduce the vaporisation rate.
