Jiangnan Shipyard has developed a design for a groundbreaking VLGC that looks set to become the world’s biggest LPG carrier.

The Chinese state-owned shipyard's LPG-fuelled, 91,000-cbm design has received approval in principle (AIP) from classification societies Lloyd’s Register and ABS.

Jiangnan has a tradition of giving its designs nicknames and has dubbed the VLGC design Panda 91T.
