New 45,000 meter cube LNG carrier, made by CMHI's Jiangsu Shipyard, has picked up its first cargo at Singapore LNG and heading to Guizhou.
"Fitted with three LNT A-Box cargo tanks, Saga Dawn has an expected boil-off rate of 0.15% per day.
Built to ABS class at the Jiangsu yard of China Merchants Heavy Industry (CMHI), the LNG carrier has an overall length of 195.3 m, beam of 30 m, depth of 20 m and draught of 9 m, with a single 11,700-kW Wärtsilä dual-fuel main and two Wärtsilä auxiliary engines. Saga Dawn has a service speed of 16.5 knots. A sister vessel is on order at CMHI.
Saga LNG Shipping reported it is finalising the development of an 80,000-m3 LNGC design with a 9-m fully laden draught, aimed at regional imports into Chinese terminals. Saga has further developed and obtained approvals in principle (AiP) for its shallow draft 28,500-m3 Wuhan Max and 12,000-m3 Yichang Max designs aimed at opening up trade along China’s Yangtze River.
Based around the LNT A-Box technology, Saga LNG Shipping aims to build, own and operate a series of bespoke small- and mid-scale LNG carriers. Plans are to focus on floating LNG vessels, LNG carriers, LNG transport barges and LNG bunker vessels, within the 1,000 to 100,000-m3 range."
Hudong Zhonghua scores $2.86 billion order from Qatar for LNG carriers. So far this is the biggest LNG carrier ship order taken by a Chinese shipyard.
