Greece’s Maran Gas takes delivery of new LNG carrier

Greece’s Maran Gas, the gas shipping unit of Angelicoussis, has added one more newly built liquefied natural gas carrier to its large LNG fleet.

South Korea’s Hanwha Ocean delivered the 174,000-cbm LNG carrier, Maran Gas Kimolos, on September 10, according to a social media post by Angelicoussis.

The shipping group led by Maria Angelicoussis said Kimolos is the first in a series of 11 newbuilding LNG carriers on order with Hanwha Ocean to be delivered gradually between 2024 and 2027.

This latest series incorporates MGM’s ME-GI “Generation 3” specification, incorporating experience from 13 vessels already in service with the MAN ME-GI propulsion system, an evolving and continuously improving design, it said.

“MAN ME-GI propulsion engines have the lowest gas consumption and negligible level of methane slip among all dual-fuel LNG engines available,” Angelicoussis said.

In November 2021, Maran Gas ordered this LNG carrier and another vessel at Hanwha Ocean, previously known as DSME.

The order is worth about $411 million or close to $206 million per vessel.

Maran Gas has 46 ships under management and 12 vessels on order, its website shows.

Before this delivery, Maran Gas welcomed the 174,000-cbm LNG carriers, Maran Gas Nice and Maran Gas Antibes, into its fleet.

These vessels serve France’s TotalEnergies under charter deals.
