19FEB2019 - NEWS - Technical problems with cranes affected deployment of ESL Shipping’s new LNG powered bulk carriers

Serious technical problems with cranes slowed down the deployment of ESL Shipping’s new LNG-fueled bulk carriers. The 25,600 dwt handy size dry bulk cargo vessels, Haaga and Viikki, the first of their kind to use LNG, were delivered to the company in 2018. In the fourth quarter, both vessels arrived fully laden to the Baltic Sea via the Northern Sea Route. These issues have resulted in a significant loss of income and additional costs for the shipping company.
