Belgian shipowner Exmar has launched a new subsidiary, EXMAR LPG France, located in Saint-Cloud, near Paris. This entity will oversee the ownership and operation of six mid-size, dual-fuel gas carriers currently under construction at HD Hyundai Mipo Dockyard in South Korea.
The first keel was laid in August for the 46,000 cu m LPG/ammonia carriers. The initial two vessels will feature LPG dual-fuel engines, while the remaining four will be equipped with dual-fuel ammonia engines.
