On 6 September 2022, NYK signed a multi-year time charter contract with Osaka Gas International Transport, a Daigas Group company, for a new liquefied natural gas carrier.Length overall: 297.160 metersBreadth: 46.40 metersCargo tank capacity: 173,956 m3Main engine: X-DF engineShipbuilder: Hyundai Samho Heavy Industries Co., Ltd.Flag: BahamasDelivery: 2022This vessel, named Grace Freesia, comes equipped with a WinGD-made dual-fuel slow-speed diesel engine (i.e., X-DF diesel engine) that has superior fuel-consumption efficiency and can operate on marine gas oil or boil off gas stored in the cargo tank. The carrier also features a re-liquefaction system that can use surplus boil-off gas efficiently. The cargo tank is a 174,000 cubic meter capacity membrane-type tank that makes use of advanced insulating materials to suppress the boil-off rate (percentage of gas volume that vaporizes during navigation) in the cargo tank and realizes significantly more efficient, economical, and environmentally friendly operation.
