Chemical tanker company Fairfield Chemical Carriers and MOL Chemical Tankers on Thursday (25 July) welcomed another LNG dual-fuel chemical tanker, Fairchem Pioneer.
“We are proud to announce the addition of our second LNG dual-fuel 26,000 dwt vessel, the Fairchem Pioneer, to the fleet,” Fairfield Chemical Carriers said in a social media post.
The dual-fuel tanker was delivered by Fukuoka Shipbuilding Co., Ltd on 25 July.
The firm added the vessel represented its continued commitment to sustainability and innovation in the maritime industry.
Manifold Times previously reported Fairfield Chemical Carriers announcing the first in its series of four 26,000 DWT dual-fuel LNG new builds, Fairchem Pathfinder, successfully completed its inaugural LNG bunkering operation in Singapore.
The tanker received a total of 1,390 cubic meters of LNG from bunker vessel FuelLNG Bellina via a ship-to-ship transfer.
On 4 March, it was announced that MOL Chemical Tankers completed its acquisition of all of the shares of Fairfield Chemical Carriers Pte. Ltd. in an all-cash transaction for about USD 400 million.
