Wärtsilä to supply Cargo Handling System for LNG Bunkering Vessel

Wärtsilä will supply a cargo handling system for an 18,000-cubic-meter LNG bunkering vessel under construction by South Korea’s Hyundai Mipo Dockyard. The vessel is being built for Korea Line, and will be chartered by Shell when it is delivered.

Wärtsilä will provide engineering, design, procurement, and commissioning work on the cargo handling system, including designing the cargo tank. The equipment is scheduled to start delivery at the end of 2020, with the ship set for delivery in early 2022.

An option for a second vessel is also included in the contract.
