Idan Ofer's Eastern Pacific Shipping (EPS) has ordered three LPG carriers at Hyundai Mipo Dockyard (HMD) against a long-term charter with Norwegian oil major Equinor.
They will be fitted with dual-fuel propulsion that can run on LPG, which is in line with the policies of both companies to use alternative marine fuels to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
The 40,000-cbm design for the trio is slightly larger than the standard 38,000-cbm medium-sized gas carrier design built by most shipyards.
