Jiangnan Shipyard which is owned by China State Shipbuilding Corp (CSSC), has recently ordered an LPG-burning engine for an 86,000 cbm very large gas carrier (VLGC). The ship, which will be equipped with MAN B&W 6G60ME-LGIP engine, is being built for China’s shipping company Tianjin Southwest Maritime (TSM) and is scheduled for delivery in the second half of 2021. MAN Energy Solutions already won the first orders for the new engine earlier in 2018 when Hanjin Heavy Industries announced that it would construct two VLGCs at its Philippines yard for Exmar, the Belgian integrated gas-shipping company.
