South Korea’s Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering (DSME) has fitted a first high manganese steel LNG fuel tank into an LNG dual-fuelled container ship.
The new type-B rectangular tank was fitted to a 24,000-teu boxship — one of 12 ultra-large containership newbuildings being built for German liner giant Hapag-Lloyd — in what the shipbuilder is claiming is a “world first”.
