Hudong said in a statement the 174,000-cbm LNG Phecda left the Shanghai yard for gas trials on July 3.<\/p>\n

The Chinese yard noted it faced many difficulties during the vessels’ construction due to the Covid-19 pandemic that has affected the entire industry.<\/p>\n

The yard expects to deliver the vessel soon after the completion of gas trials.<\/p>\n

LNG Phecda is the third in a series of four Yamal-dedicated vessels ordered by Japan\u2019s Mitsui O.S.K. Lines and China COSCO Shipping at Hudong.<\/p>\n

Each of the 290 meters long ships features WinGD dual-fuel engines and GTT’s cargo containment system.<\/p>\n

The Yamal carriers will not directly load chilled fuel at the 16.5 mtpa LNG plant in the Russian Arctic.<\/p>\n

They will take transshipped LNG at European terminals, previously delivered by ice-class carriers, for onward distribution mainly to Asia. <\/p>\n

To remind, Hudong recently said it was finalising works on the fourth Yamal carrier, LNG Megrez<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The yard delivered the first carrier of this batch,\u00a0LNG Dubhe<\/a>, in October 2019 followed by the second vessel,\u00a0LNG Merak<\/a>, earlier this year. <\/p>\n

New LNG carrier for CSSC Shipping<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n

In the meantime, while the LNG Phecda is busy with its gas trials, the Chinese yard held a keel laying ceremony for a new 174,000-cbm carrier.<\/p>\n

Hudong says is building the LNG carrier for CSSC Shipping, the financial leasing unit of China State Shipbuilding Corporation.<\/p>\n

The state shipbuilding firm is also the parent company of Hudong.<\/p>\n

According to VesselsValue data, the Chinese yard currently has 17 large LNG carriers on order including the two Yamal vessels.<\/p>\n

Hudong will build four vessels for CSSC Shipping, eighth for Qatar Petroleum<\/a> and the recently confimed trio<\/a> for Cosco Shipping Energy.<\/p>\n

Furthermore, the yard’s order book also includes two identical FSRUs<\/a> for Greek shipping company Dynagas.<\/p>\n
