CSSC Shipping, the leasing arm of China State Shipbuilding Corporation, is behind the order. Chengxi is also a unit of CSSC.<\/p>\n

The dual-fuel vessels have a price tag of $43 million, each.<\/p>\n

Several shipbroking reports reveal that the tankers would be chartered by the agricultural commodity trader Louis Dreyfus.<\/p>\n

The bareboat charter would last for five years.<\/p>\n

LNG World News (now part of Offshore Energy Today) reached out to Louis Dreyfus for a comment.<\/p>\n

The company declined to comment.<\/p>\n

The Rotterdam-based trader has a fleet of around 200 chartered vessels across the globe and these would be the first LNG-powered ships in its fleet.<\/p>\n

Louis Dreyfus previously said it was studying carbon-reducing technologies and designs to comply with stricter shipping emission regulations.<\/p>\n

The studied options included LNG dual-fuel, wind propulsion, as well as biofuels.<\/p>\n
