Greek shipowner Capital Gas Ship Management, led by Evangelos Marinakis, took successful delivery of the newbuilding LNG carriers “Assos”, “Apostolos” and “Aktoras” from Hyundai Heavy Industries, S. Korea.
As it is reported by the shipowner, the sister vessels with a cargo capacity of 174,000 m3 are highly efficient, propelled with MAN MEGA engines, and equipped with the latest technologies, including an air lubrication system, shaft generators, and increased filling limits (above 99%).
“The vessels represent the vanguard of the new generation of LNG carriers, setting an industry benchmark with their exceptionally low environmental impact,” says the company.
They achieve this by employing cutting-edge technologies designed to minimize methane slip and substantially reduce CO2 emissions.
They are three of eighteen LNG vessels delivered to Capital Gas between 2020 and 2027.
Delivery festivities were well attended by high-ranking officials from Capital Gas, HHI, and other organisations and companies.
