The South Korean Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries on Friday (11 December) held a naming ceremony for the South Korean liquefied natural gas (LNG) powered ocean-going vessels HL Eco and HL Green at the Hyundai Samho Heavy Industries site in Yeongam, Jeollanam-do.
The newbuildings are two 180,000 dwt mineral carriers that will reportedly transport two million tonnes of iron ore and coal a year between South Korea and Australia starting from 2021.
Korea Gas Corporation’s (KOGAS) LNG bunkering vessel Jeju 2 will be responsible for supplying the vessels with LNG via ship-to-ship bunkering operations.
The ceremony was attended by South Korean Prime Minister Chung Sye-gyun, Minister of Oceans and Fisheries Moon Seong-hyuk, Jeonnam Province Governor Kim Young-Rok, CEO Seong-deuk H-Line, Kim Hyeong-gwan, Hyundai Samho Heavy Industries CEO, and POSCO CEO Jang In-Hwa.
