Idan Ofer’s Eastern Pacific Shipping is outfitting more of its fleet to run on LNG.

The Singapore-based shipowner has switched two of its four LR2 tanker newbuildings at China's New Times Shipbuilding to run on LNG.

The company will be installing Man B&W’s ME-GI propulsion system on the dual-fuel newbuildings, which were ordered earlier this year as scrubber-fitted vessels.

Eastern Pacific is scheduled to take delivery of the pair in late 2021.
