Greece-based vessel owner GasLog has taken delivery of another newbuild that will go on charter to US LNG exporter Cheniere.

The 174,000-cbm GasLog Galveston left the Samsung Heavy Industries yard in Geoye on Tuesday, its AIS data shows. It should arrive in Singapore around January 14.

The X-DF vessel is the second in a series of four newbuilds GasLog chartered to Cheniere.

The quartet Samsung is building for GasLog includes two 174,000 cbm and two 180,000 cbm vessels.

Samsung also completed and delivered the first carrier in this batch, the 174,000-cbm GasLog Georgetown.
