The vessel is capable of transporting 174,000 cubic meters of LNG in GTT’s Mark III Flex containment system.

It features a two-stroke, low-pressure X-DF main engine from WinGD.

TMS Cardiff Gas currently manages a fleet of sixteen LNG carriers out of which eighth more are on order in South Korea.

The Greek LNG shipper plans to take the delivery of these vessels during 2020 and 2021.
