China’s Hudong-Zhonghua has hosted a naming ceremony for a new 174,000-cbm LNG carrier built for Japan’s MOL and Cosco Shipping’s unit CSLNG.

Hudong-Zhonghua held the ceremony for the newbuild vessel Greenergy Cloud on Wednesday.

According to the shipbuilder, the vessel was completed three months ahead of the contracted schedule.

This is the sixth and last LNG carrier MOL, in a partnership with CSLNG, ordered at the shipbuilder in January 2022.

China’s energy giant CNOOC chartered all six LNG carriers, and it is also part of the JV that owns the vessels.

In 2024, Hudong-Zhonghua delivered the first vessel in this batch, Greenergy Ocean.

This is the world’s first fifth-generation “Changheng” series LNG carrier.

The 299-meter-long vessel features GTT’s NO96 Super+ containment system and WinGD 5X72DF2.1 dual-fuel main engine.
