China’s Zhoushan Changhong International Shipyard hosted a naming ceremony for the final two MSC LNG dual-fuel containerships with a capacity of 11,500 teu.
According to the shipbuilder, the two named vessels are MSC Migsan and MSC Zivana.
These are the ninth and tenth vessels in the series of 11,500-teu LNG dual-fuel containerships.
With the official naming of these two vessels, the construction project for the 10-vessel series came to a successful conclusion, the shipbuilder said.
The 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 had 36 LNG dual-fuel vessels on order at the yard.
Last year, MSC placed more orders for LNG dual-fuel container vessels at Zhoushan Changhong.
