The fleet of Norwegian shipping company Knutsen Group has gotten a new member, an LNG carrier named Gordon Waters Knutsen.
The group shared on its social media that the vessel is designed specifically for the transportation of liquefied natural gas (LNG), with a capacity of 174,000 cubic meters.
It will be long-term chartered to ENGIE and is equipped with a Mark III Flex system, re-liquefaction unit, air lubrication system and a brand new MEGA engine.
The vessel, built by Hyundai Samho Heavy Industries, marks the first of two vessels ordered by ENGIE.
The naming ceremony for Gordon Waters Knutsen was held in April this year.
In the same month, Knutsen LNG France took delivery of Grażyna Gęsicka, a 174,000 cbm LNG carrier constructed by South Korean shipbuilder Hyundai Heavy Industries.
