CIMC SOE lays keel for first Fratelli Cosulich LNG bunkering ship

The construction of our first LNG bunker tanker vessel ordered in China continues inexorably.

The keel-laying ceremony for the 8,200 cubic meter ship with the (operational name) construction number S1058 took place on August 1 at the Chinese shipyard Cimc Sinopacific Offshore & Engineering in Nantong, which was given the order for the two (twin units) sister ships.

This (dual-fuel ship) multipurpose LNG Carrier/LNG bunker vessel was ordered by the Fratelli Cosulich Group in May of last year. The vessel will be equipped with Schottel azimuth propulsion system, Wartsila cargo handling system and dual fuel engines.

Our goal is to have the operational unit by 2023.
