Partners of the Gothia Tanker Alliance said they have recently ordered four LNG-powered product/chemical tankers.

Swedish companies Furetank, Älvtank, and Thun Tankers said in a statement that the 16,300-dwt vessels will be built at Avic Dingheng Shipbuilding  in China.

The ships – of which Furetank will own two and Älvtank and Thun Tankers, one each, will be delivered during 2018/2019. They will be built to a design developed by FKAB together with Furetank,  according to the statement.

The vessels will be commercially managed by Furetank Chartering in the Gothia Tanker Alliance.
