Maran Gas adds new LNG carrier to its fleet

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

South Korea’s Hanwha Ocean delivered the 174,000-cbm LNG carrier, Maran Gas Kastelorizo, in late November, according to a social media post by Angelicoussis.

This vessel will serve Italian energy firm Eni under a charter deal.

The ABS-classed LNG carrier features the MAN ME-GI propulsion engine, which allows for the “lowest gas consumption and negligible level of methane slip among all dual-fuel LNG engines currently on the market,” Angelicoussis said.

According to VesselsValue data, Maran Gas ordered this LNG carrier and another vessel at Hanwha Ocean, previously known as DSME, in November 2021 for about $206.5 million per ship.

Hanwha Ocean recently secured a new order from Maran Gas to build two LNG carriers.

The deal also includes two optional vessels.

The vessels will be equipped with ME-GI engines and a full reliquefaction system.

According to Hanwha Ocean, the deal is worth about $510 million or $255 million per vessel.

Including these two new vessels, Maran Gas has ordered a total of 13 LNG carriers at Hanwha Ocean since November 2021.

Maran Gas has 49 ships under management and 11 vessels on order, its website shows.
