China’s Zhoushan Changhong International Shipyard hosted a naming ceremony on Tuesday for two MSC’s LNG dual-fuel containerships with a capacity of 11,500 teu.

According to a statement by the shipbuilder, the two named vessels are MSC Edna and MSC Adele.

These are the third and the fourth vessel in the series of 11,500-teu LNG dual-fuel containerships.

Separately, Zhoushan Changhong also delivered MSC Edna to MSC.

Before these ships, the shipbuilder handed over MSC Insa and MSC Leila to the owner.

The DNV-classed vessels are 335 meters and 45.6 meters wide, with a design speed of 20 knots.

Zhoushan Changhong said the vessels feature type C LNG fuel storage tanks, which allow them to complete a single round trip on China-Europe or China-US routes.

CIMC ORIC, a unit of China International Marine Containers (CIMC), designed these new containerships.

CIMC is a shareholder in Zhoushan Changhong via its leasing unit.

Zhoushan Changhong previously said that MSC has 36 LNG dual-fuel vessels on order at the yard.
