First Dynagas FSRU completes gas trials in China

Greek shipping company Dynagas will soon take delivery of the first out of two FSRUs which are under construction at China’s Hudong-Zhonghua, following the completion of gas trials.

The 174,000-cbm Transgas Power returned to Hudong’s yard on Changxing Island, Shanghai on Tuesday, according to the shipbuilder.

Hudong said it has performed several tests during a period of 15 days on the first newbuild FSRU in China.

The yard undocked the 294 meters long and 47 meters wide FSRU on March 6 in order to start the ships’ trials, which wrapped up about two weeks prior to the start of the gas trials.
