The launching event of the LNG carrier GasLog Galveston (SN2301) was held at the Korean yard on May 30.<\/p>\n

GasLog says it expects to take delivery of the 174,000 cubic meter vessel by the end of October 2020.<\/p>\n

The LNG shipper ordered the vessel back in August 2018 along with a sister vessel.<\/p>\n

US LNG export player Cheniere chartered<\/a> both of the vessels for a period of seven years.<\/p>\n

The newbuilds feature GTT\u2019s Mark III Flex Plus containment system and WinGD\u2019s low-pressure two-stroke (X-DF) propulsion.<\/p>\n

Gaslog has additional two 180,000 cbm LNG carriers chartered by Cheniere on order at Samsung.<\/p>\n

This X-DF LNG carrier duo will join GasLog’s fleet during the course of next year.<\/p>\n
