GSI said this is the first in a series of H-Line’s LNG dual-fuel vessels with a capacity of 8,600 ceu.

It is an upgraded version of H-Line’s four LNG-powered PCTCs with a capacity of 7,000 ceu.

In November 2024, GSI delivered the final vessels in this series, Glovis Success, to H-Line.

GSI delivered H Line’s first LNG-powered PCTC, Glovis Solar, in April, the second vessel, Glovis Sunshine, in July, and the third vessel, Glovis Selene, in September.

All of these vessels serve charter deals with Hyundai Glovis.
