Xiamen Shipbuilding bags first order for LNG carrier

2015-01-26

Xiamen Shipbuilding Industry has bagged its first order to build a LNG carrier of 45,000 cu m in capacity, with an option for one additional unit, for China’s Landmark Corporate Holdings, investment firm in shipping and offshore industries.

The newbuilding is slated to be completed in 2017.

The LNG carrier will be designed by Norway’s LNG New Technologies (LNT), incorporating its novel containment system LNT A-Box based on an IMO independent tank type A, equipped with a full secondary barrier.

In January 2014, Xiamen Shipbuilding successfully completed a mock-up testing of the LNT A-Box, witnessed by class surveyors ABS, BV and DNV GL.
