On September 6, #NYK signed a multi-year time charter contract with Osaka Gas International Transport Inc. (President: Takenori Fujita, Head office: Osaka), a Daigas Group company, for a new #LNG carrier.
This vessel, named “Grace Freesia,” comes equipped with a WinGD-made dual-fuel slow-speed diesel engine (i.e., X-DF diesel engine) that has superior fuel-consumption efficiency and can operate on marine gas oil or boil off gas stored in the cargo tank. The carrier also features a re-liquefaction system that can use surplus boil-off gas efficiently. The cargo tank is a 174,000 cubic meter capacity membrane-type tank that makes use of advanced insulating materials to suppress the boil-off rate (percentage of gas volume that vaporizes during navigation) in the cargo tank and realizes significantly more efficient, economical, and environmentally friendly operation.
