The Peter Livanos-backed owner said two firm 174,000-cbm vessels will be delivered in the second half of 2017 from Hyundai Heavy Industries, its debut order with the yard.

There are options for four more vessels which would be completed in late 2017 and early 2018.

The ships will come with “proven” tri-fuel diesel electric (TFDE) propulsion, with low fuel consumption.

GasLog said they will be among the most efficient vessels in existence and are “therefore expected to be extremely attractive to potential charterers.”
