Maran Gas, a subsidiary of Angelicoussis, has recently added a new 174,000-cbm LNG carrier, the Maran Gas Kastelorizo, to its fleet. The vessel was delivered by Hanwha Ocean in South Korea, reports LNG Prime.
Lowest Gas Consumption
The ABS-classed LNG carrier features the MAN ME-GI propulsion engine, which allows for the “lowest gas consumption and negligible level of methane slip among all dual-fuel LNG engines currently on the market,” Angelicoussis said.
According to VesselsValue data, Maran Gas ordered this LNG carrier and another vessel at Hanwha Ocean, previously known as DSME, in November 2021 for about $206.5 million per ship. Hanwha Ocean recently secured a new order from Maran Gas to build two LNG carriers.
The deal also includes two optional vessels. The vessels will be equipped with ME-GI engines and a full reliquefaction system. According to Hanwha Ocean, the deal is worth about $510 million or $255 million per vessel.
