South Korea’s Samsung Heavy Industries hosted a naming ceremony for another 180,000-cbm LNG carrier it built for Denmark’s Celsius Tankers, a unit of Celsius Shipping.
Celsius Tech, a joint venture of Celsius Shipping and Hong Kong-based Fleet Management, announced the naming ceremony of Celsius Guadeloupe in a social media post on Wednesday.
Celsius Guadeloupe will be delivered later this month.
The JV will manage this LNG carrier, such as the previous newbuilds Celsius Galapagos, Celsius Galway, and other Celsius vessels.
This is Celsius Tech’s thirteenth vessel since the project began in 2019.
It is also the ninth vessel built by SHI for Celsius since 2023.
Purus Marine’s data previously showed that Celsius Guadeloupe is a part of a partnership between the London-based firm and Celsius.
SHI previously delivered four 180,000-cbm LNG carriers to Celsius during 2020 and 2021.
According to its website, Celsius will take delivery of five remaining newbuilds from SHI between 2026 and 2028.
In total, the Celsius LNG fleet includes 23 carriers and two LNG bunkering vessels.
Besides Celsius Guadeloupe, Celsius has 12 more LNG carriers on order, the data shows.
