Hanwha Ocean has delivered its 200th LNG carrier newbuilding, in what it claims is a world first.
The shipyard said it delivered the 174,000-cbm Lebrethah to South Korean owner SK Shipping. The vessel was contracted as part of QatarEnergy’s huge newbuilding project — for which it secured 31 LNG carriers.
The Lebrethah will be operated by Korea Green LNG, the so-called K3 consortium comprising South Korean companies SK Shipping, H-Line Shipping and Pan Ocean.
