Shipping giant NYK Line has ordered two LPG dual-fuelled VLGC newbuildings at Kawasaki Heavy Industries (KHI), bringing its order tally there to four.

The Japanese shipping company said it has struck a deal with the compatriot shipyard to build two 86,700-cbm gas carrier newbuildings to be delivered in 2024.

NYK's earlier pair of VLGC newbuildings were ordered early this year.
