TradeWinds understands that the 173,400-cbm, M-type electronically-controlled, gas-injection (ME-GI) newbuilding, currently under construction as Hull No. 2416 at DSME in South Korea, will initially be employed as an FSU for one to two months per year, a period that could be extended in future.

The LNG carrier will be time-chartered to the project for a 20-year period but during the times it is not employed in a storage role it will return to the market for trading.
