Maran Tankers Management, the oil tanker unit of Greece’s Angelicoussis Shipping Group, has taken delivery of another LNG dual-fuel Suezmax oil tanker in China.
The 155,500-dwt Maran Myron was built by China’s New Times Shipbuilding and sails under the Greek flag.
The delivery represents “another important addition to the Angelicoussis Group’s modern and energy-efficient fleet,” Angelicoussis said in a social media post on Wednesday.
According to the group, Maran Myron incorporates an optimized hull form, advanced energy-saving devices, and a shaft generator to reduce fuel consumption.
The vessel’s dual-fuel main engine and boilers allow operation on both LNG and conventional fuels, while an integrated boil-off gas (BOG) management system, using Stirling cryogenic technology, controls LNG tank pressure, providing greater operational flexibility, the group said.
This is the sixth LNG dual-fuel Suezmax tanker of eight Maran Tankers ordered at New Times in 2023.
Maran Tankers first ordered four LNG dual-fuel Suezmax tankers and exercised an option for four additional vessels.
The firm currently operates 53 vessels, and it has 10 vessels on order, according to its website.
