According to a statement by the shipbuilder, the two named vessels are MSC Serena and MSC Aliana.

Before these ships, the shipbuilder delivered MSC Insa, MSC Leila, MSC Edna, and MSC Adele to the owner.

The DNV-classed vessels are 335 meters and 45.6 meters wide, with a design speed of 20 knots.

Zhoushan Changhong said the vessels feature type C LNG fuel storage tanks, which allow them to complete a single round trip on China-Europe or China-US routes.

CIMC ORIC, a unit of China International Marine Containers (CIMC), designed these new containerships.

CIMC is a shareholder in Zhoushan Changhong via its leasing unit.

Zhoushan Changhong previously said that MSC has 36 LNG dual-fuel vessels on order at the yard.
