A VLGC owned by BW LPG has arrived at a Chinese yard where it is set to become the first large LPG carrier retrofitted with a dual-fuelled propulsion system that will allow it to operate on LPG as fuel.

BW said its 84,000-cbm BW Gemini (built 2015) is now in Yiu Lian Dockyards (Shekou), which is a subsidiary of China Merchants Industry Holdings Co.
