"This agreement will ensure that these vessels can operate with maximum reliability, availability, and performance," Latsco LNG Marine Management's COO Kostas Vlachos said in a statement.
The two vessels were constructed at the Hyundai Heavy Industries yard in South Korea, with Hellas Diana entering service in March this year and Hellas Athina due to join it this September. Both are equipped with WinGD X-DF dual-fuel engines.
