The “Ilshin Green Iris” has been chartered by steelmaker POSCO, to transport limestone cargoes in the Korean coastal trade.
The Ilshin Green Iris has a Type ‘C’ LNG fuel tank with a capacity of 500m³ and is comprised of a material developed by POSCO that is designed for cryogenic LNG and liquefied gas-storage applications.
