Maran Gas welcomes newbuild LNG carrier to its fleet

Greece’s Maran Gas, the gas shipping unit of Angelicoussis, has added one more newbuild liquefied natural gas tanker to its large LNG fleet.

South Korea’s Hanwha Ocean delivered the 174,000-cbm LNG carrier, Maran Gas Antiparos.

According to a social media post by Angelicoussis, this is the fourth vessel in a series of thirteen ships.

The vessel features “highly efficient main engines with almost zero methane slip, with shaft generators producing electrical power efficiently directly from the main engines,” it said.

The shipping group did not provide further details.

According to VesselsValue data, Maran Gas ordered this LNG carrier and another vessel at Hanwha Ocean, previously known as DSME, in January 2022 for approxmately $218 million per ship.

In November 2024, Hanwha Ocean secured a new order from Maran Gas to build two LNG carriers.

The deal also includes two optional vessels.

Including these vessels, Maran Gas ordered a total of 13 LNG carriers at Hanwha Ocean since November 2021.

Maran Gas has at least 50 operational ships under management, its website shows.
