01 Jul 2008
Kawasaki Heavy Industries Ltd., Japan's second-largest maker of heavy machinery, delivered a liquefied natural gas carrier to joint owners Mitsui O.S.K. Lines Ltd. and Tokyo-LNG Tanker Co. Unit Kawasaki Shipbuilding Corp. built the Mmoss-type LNG vessel that can carry 147,558 cubic meters of gas, Kobe, Japan- based Kawasaki Heavy said today in a faxed statement, without disclosing the value of the contract. Tokyo-based Mitsui O.S.K. will operate the vessel.
LNG is cooled to a liquid form for transportation by sea to markets not connected by pipelines. The fuel is received at import terminals and converted back to a gaseous form so it can be piped to users.
