Norway’s Knutsen named one newbuild liquefied natural gas (LNG) carrier in South Korea.

The naming ceremony for the 174,000-cbm LNG carrier, Nantes Knutsen, took place at Hyundai Samho’s yard in Mokpo on Monday, according to a social media post by Knutsen.

“This represents the city where we have our France Knutsen office,” the shipping firm said.

Knutsen did not provide further infomation.

According to VesselsValue data, Knutsen ordered this LNG carrier at Hyundai Samho in December 2020.

Following delivery, the vessel will serve a long-term charter deal with LNG giant Shell.

In November last year, Knutsen took delivery of the 174,000-cbm, Paris Knutsen, from Hyundai Samho.

Knutsen said at the time Paris Knutsen is the 7th vessel in the Shell series, 8th vessel delivered by Hyundai Samho, and the 10th vessel delivered to the company within the last 15 months.

Knutsen and Poland’s Orlen also named two newbuild LNG carriers at Hyundai Samho in October last year.

The vessels in question are Saint Barbara and Ignacy Lukasiewicz.
