South Korea is teaming with its major shipyards in a pilot project to construct the world’s largest LNG-fuelled ship.
The Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries announced the project on Monday with the aim of building an 180,000-ton cargoship powered by LNG, Yonhap reports.
"This pilot program is aimed at building the world's largest LNG-propelled ship, which is expected to pave the way for related industries to take root in the nation," said Kang Joon-suk, the vice marine minister.
