Kawasaki Kisen Kaisha, Ltd. (K Line) held a naming ceremony for the newly-built liquefied natural gas (LNG) carrier, currently the largest Moss-type LNG carrier, at Sakaide Shipyard of Kawasaki Heavy Industries, Ltd. (KHI).
The new vessel, named “Pacific Breeze”, is also the first Moss-type LNG carrier equipped with the Tri-Fuel Diesel (TFD) Propulsion System which accomplishes low fuel consumption together with bringing environmentally friendly conditions.
Designed by KHI, “Pacific Breeze” will be time-chartered by IT Marine Transport Pte. Ltd., a joint-venture company between INPEX Corporation and TOTAL S.A., and consigned to CPC and will be carrying LNG from the Ichthys LNG Project in Darwin, Australia to Taiwan after her delivery.
