Saga LNG Shipping is looking towards more orders as the shipowner celebrated the naming of its inaugural mid-size LNG carrier at China Merchants Heavy Industry (CMHI)'s Jiangsu yard.

The 45,000-cbm Saga Dawn (built 2019) will be the first ship to be delivered based on the "A Box" containment system design.

It is meant for long-term charter to an unnamed party that Saga principal David Wu described as a "top-tier energy major".
