Angelicoussis’ Maran Gas Maritime newbuild LNG carriers were delivered to Poland’s Orlen under long-term charters.
Greek Maran Gas Maritime is expanding its fleet with two more South Korean newbuildings. The company shared a photo in the social media of the delivery of the pair from Hanwha Ocean.
The Greek shipowner didn’t disclose any financial details about the order, but it said that Danuta Siedzikowna – Inka and Rotmistrz Witold Pilecki, are the fifth and sixth vessels of a series of thirteen LNG carriers ordered by Maran Gas Maritime to Hanwha Ocean, with slated deliveries within April 2026.
With a cargo capacity of 174,000 cubic meters, the vessels’ design includes a hull form optimized for a wider range of trading speeds, an efficient ME-GI propulsion plant, shaft generators for onboard power generation, and an air lubrication system to further enhance vessels’ performance.
“This specification has significant advantages over currently competing designs,” the Greek company said. “It includes lower consumptions and negligible level of methane slip which yield to the lowest environmental footprint among all LNG vessels currently in the market,” it added.
The Angelicoussis Group, a privately owned group of affiliated shipping companies dating back to 1947, operates a diversified fleet serving the oil, gas and dry cargo markets through Athens-based companies, Maran Tankers Management (MTM), Maran Gas Maritime (MGM) and Maran Dry Management (MDM), and Maran Shuttle Tankers (MST), based in Stavanger, Norway.
To remind, Maran Gas Maritime was established in 2003 to undertake the commercial, technical and operational management of LNG carriers.
