Since 2019, CapeOmega has partnered with Knutsen OAS Shipping, a global leader in LNG shipping, to construct 10 LNG vessels on the back of long term charters to gas majors.
The vessels are two stroke 174,000 cbm liquified natural gas (LNG) carrier vessels. The two stroke gas propulsion engine and air-lubrication system make the vessels the most modern and fuel-efficient LNG carriers in the market today.
Five vessels have been commissioned over the past 2 year, and 5 more are still under construction.
