The vessel will be chartered by MOL from Osaka Shipping Co., Ltd. and Waterfront Shipping Company Limited (WFS) will charter the vessel from MOL under a long-term contract.
The vessel is a sister ship to the Capilano Sun, which was delivered in 2021 and also chartered by MOL to WFS.
MOL operates one of the world’s largest fleets of methanol carriers, with a total of 19, (including Cypress Sun), and it has been expanding the number of dual-fuel vessels, which can run on methanol, since 2016.
Currently, MOL operates five of the 23 methanol dual-fuel tankers in service worldwide, including Cypress Sun.
