Sovcomflot builds its fleet
1st August 2020
Russia’s Sovcomflot has taken delivery of the 174,000 cubic metre capacity LNG carrier SCF La Perouse from South Korea’s Hyundai Samho Heavy Industries for operation under a long-term time charter agreement with French energy major Total.
The new vessel features a slow-speed dual-fuel X-DF engine and is to be followed by two more sister ships using the same powerplant. Their delivery will bring the Sovcomflot fleet to over 150 vessels with a combined deadweight of more than 12.8 million tonnes. JS
