German owner Hartmann Reederei has ordered three 49,000 cu m LPG/ammonia carriers from Yangzi-Mitsui Shipbuilding, a joint venture of Yangzijiang and Mitsui.
The new vessels are scheduled for delivery by 2024 and will be the first LPG carriers the yard has built. Ren Letian, CEO of the group, said:
“Yangzijiang’s clinching of its maiden batch of 40,000 cu m LPG carriers marks a breakthrough for the group and a recognition towards the group’s strengths in the design and building of clean- energy vessels. I am pleased to see Yangzijiang record another milestone in the clean-energy space”.
