These LNG tankers are being built for Capital Gas Carrier Corp., owned by Greek shipowner Evangelos Marinakis.

To remind, the deal worth 836.5 billion won ($741 million) was announced by Hyundai Heavy in July this year.

GTT’s Mark III Flex technology has been selected to equip the LNG tanks of these four 174,000-cbm ships, GTT said in its statement.

The delivery of the four vessels is scheduled between the end of 2020 and mid-2021.
