South Korean shipyard Daewoo Shipbuilding and Marine Engineering (DSME) received an order for the construction of a liquefied natural gas (LNG) carrier for Seatankers Management.

The newbuild, with the capacity to transport 173,400 cubic meters of the chilled fueled, will feature the M-type, Electronically Controlled, Gas Injection (MEGI) engine and a full re-liquefaction system (FRS).
