The first of Nisshin Shipping’s eight dual-fuel chemical carrier newbuildings has been placed with Bergen’s Hansa pool.
Hans Solberg, chief executive officer of Hansa Tankers Management, said Nisshin’s 19,900-dwt Eva Gold (built 2022) is in the water and running on gas.
“The engines are already properly equipped to run on both fuel oil and LNG, not just ‘LNG ready’,” Solberg told TradeWinds.
