GasLog takes delivery of LNG carrier in South Korea

Greece’s GasLog has taken delivery of a new liquefied natural gas (LNG) carrier from Hanwha Ocean in South Korea.

According to a social media post by GasLog, the naming ceremony for the 174,000-cbm Marvel Phoenix took place on September 30.

On October 2, Marvel Phoenix was officially delivered.

This delivery marks the newest addition to the GasLog fleet, following the successful delivery of her sister vessel, GasLog Italy.

The 294.9 meters-long and 46.4 meters-wide ice-class vessel has HP-2S ME-GI engines, two shaft generators, and a full reliquefaction system (FRS).

GasLog chartered this LNG carrier to Japan’s Mitsui for a period of nine years.

Hanwha Ocean, previously known as DSME, launched this vessel and its sister ship GasLog Italy in February this year.

GasLog Italy serves a charter deal with Italy’s Eni.

Peter Livanos-led GasLog ordered these vessels and two other 174,000-cbm LNG carriers at Hanwha Ocean in December 2021.

The last two LNG carriers in this batch, scheduled for delivery in the second half of 2025, will serve Australia’s Woodside under charter deals.

All of the LNG carriers have ME-GI propulsion. ME-GI is short for M-type, electronically controlled, gas-injection propulsion.

In addition, the vessels also feature a carbon capture and storage system.
