Swedish shipping firm Donsotank has ordered one more LNG-powered oil and chemical tanker from China’s Wuhu yard.
According to a social media post by Donsotank, Wuhu will deliver the LNG dual-fuel 22,500-dwt vessel in the middle of 2027.
The shipping firm did not provide the price tag of the deal.
This will be the fifth sister ship, joining Prospero and Pacifico and the two vessels currently under construction, Donsotank said.
Donsotank took delivery of the 22,000-dwt hybrid tanker, Pacifico, in May 2022 and Prospero in December 2021.
Designed by FKAB, both of the ice-class 1A ships have Wartsila LNG propulsion and Wuhu also equipped them with a battery pack.
Last year, Donsotank ordered two more LNG dual-fuel vessels at Wuhu.
This fifth vessel will be constructed and equipped based on the proven design of the four sister ships, Donsotank said.
It will feature dual-fuel propulsion (LNG-LBG/diesel), a 500 kWh battery pack, shore power connection, SCR-Catamiser, and a waste heat recovery system.
The vessel will have a cargo capacity of 27,800 cbm and it will be 167 meters long and 26.5 meters wide with a draft of 9.4 meters.
