India's Gail hires new LNGC from Japan's NYK
Japanese shipping company NYK has signed a multi-year time-charter contract with India’s Gail for an LNG carrier, it said on December 24. NYK and Gail held an online ceremony on December 20.
Grace Emilia, the vessel that will be chartered, is equipped with a WinGD-made dual-fuel slow-speed diesel engine that has superior fuel-consumption efficiency and can operate on marine gas oil or boil off gas stored in the cargo tank, NYK said. The cargo tank is a 174,000 m3 capacity membrane-type tank.
State-owned Gail is the leader in the Indian gas marketing segment accounting for more than 50% of the total gas consumption by end-users in the country. The company imports LNG from countries like the US, Russia, Australia and Qatar.
