The vessel was built at Hyundai Samho Heavy Industries and is owned by NYK, Asia LNG Transport Dua and Mitsubishi Corp through the joint venture Diamond LNG Shipping. NYK will be responsible for ship management.
Diamond Gas Crystal 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. The vessel will also feature a re-liquefaction system that can use re-liquefied excess boil-off gas and return it to the cargo tank. The cargo tank will be a capacity of 174,000 m3.
