The 174 000 m3 vessel, with efficient XDF propulsion and subcooling system, is being constructed at Samsung Heavy Industries (SHI). The company is continuing its long-term employment strategy on its LNG vessels, and is looking to expand its portfolio with a 2022/23 timeframe.

Christos Economou, Founder of TMS Cardiff Gas, commented: “We are grateful for the repeat business that Total Gas & Power Ltd., one of the leading global energy companies, continues to show our company and we look forward to providing first class LNG shipping services. This is another long-term deal in this series of sister vessels with efficient XDF propulsion and sets the stage for the company’s further growth with significant long-term coverage and backlog.”
