South Korea’s H-Line Shipping has taken delivery of the fourth and final LNG carrier it has chartered to US energy giant ExxonMobil.

Norhern Marine’s Tritec Marine said in a statement on Tuesday that the 174,000-cbm LNG Carrier HL Puffin is the fourth and last vessel owned by H-Line Shipping to be built as part of the project following the previous delivery of sister vessels HL Alyssa Warner, HL Edward Austin, and HL Sea Eagle.

All 174,000-cbm vessels are now managed by Northern Marine Management (NMM).

According to its AIS data provided by VesselsValue, HL Puffin left Samsung Heavy’s Geoje yard about three weeks ago.

The vessel already loaded a cargo at the Chevron-operated Gorgon LNG plant on Barrow Island in Western Australia, where ExxonMobil has a 25 percent stake.

Earlier this year, ExxonMobil LNG, a unit of ExxonMobil, announced the naming ceremony for the 174,000-cbm HL Alyssa Warner and HL Edward Austin.

Back in 2022, H-Line ordered these two LNG carriers and its two more sister vessels at Samsung Heavy.

HL Shipping paid about $209 million for each vessel, and they will serve 10-year charter deals with ExxonMobil, according to VesselsValue data.
