Hanwha Ocean Secures $713M LNG Carrier Deal with Maran Gas Maritime

partnership between Hanwha Ocean and Maran Gas Maritime. The new LNG carriers will be constructed at Hanwha Ocean’s Geoje Shipyard in South Gyeongsang Province, Korea, and are designed with a 174,000-cubic-meter capacity, meeting the demands of large-scale LNG transport. Equipped with Hanwha Ocean’s high-efficiency ME-GI propulsion engines and full re-liquefaction systems (FRS), the vessels are expected to outperform standard LNG carriers in both fuel efficiency and emissions reduction. To further optimize energy use and environmental impact, Hanwha Ocean will incorporate its latest eco-friendly technologies, including an air lubrication system (ALS) and a shaft generator motor (SGM), into the vessels. This contract represents a major step in Hanwha Ocean’s commitment to sustainable shipping, underscoring its role in providing innovative solutions to meet evolving global standards for fuel efficiency and environmental responsibility.
