Shipbuilding Secures Order for 145,000m3 LNG
Carrier |
| In
August 2004, Kawasaki Shipbuilding Corporation
concluded a shipbuilding contract with Kawasaki
Kisen Kaisha to build a 145,000m3 LNG carrier.
Kawasaki Shipbuilding will build the carrier
in its Sakaide Shipyard with delivery scheduled
for the fourth quarter of 2007. The LNG carrier
has four Moss spherical tanks with a cargo
tank capacity of 145,000m3 developed by Kawasaki
Shipbuilding. This order was received as a
result of the company’s excellent technological
prowess and reliability in building and maintaining
LNG carriers that has been cultivated over
many years. The carrier has secured its large
145,000m3 cargo capacity while maintaining
a conventional hull size that allows the carrier
to enter the world’s primary LNG terminal
ports. This order raises the order backlog
for large LNG carriers at Kawasaki Shipbuilding
to seven vessels. The company will continue
to proactively carry out the building of various
gas carriers including vessels to transport
LNG, which is expected to experience a growth
in demand as a clean energy source. |
