Rio Tino has added a new LNG dual-fuel vessel to its chartered fleet.
The Mount Ossa was built by New Times Shipbuilding, christened in Jiangsu, China on Tuesday and chartered from Singapore’s Eastern Pacific Shipping.
The delivery marks the completion of the miner’s LNG dual-fuel newcastlemax programme, which it claims “makes Rio Tinto one of the largest charterers of this class of vessels in the world”.
