Japan’s Mitsui OSK Lines (MOL) has ordered four more LNG-fuelled car carriers at two domestic shipyards.
The additional 7,000-ceu ships doubles the number contracted last summer at Shin Kurushima Dockyard and Shin Kurushima Dockyard and Nihon Shipyard, a joint venture between Imabari Shipbuilding and Japan Marine United (JMU).
The first four vessels are due in 2024, with the latest quartet coming in 2024 and 2025.
