June 24 (LNGJ) – The Chinese CIMC Raffles shipyard at Yantai in Shandong province has started building a second LNG-powered roll-on-roll-off ship for Sweden’s Wallenius Sol venture. The ice-class vessel is one of two on order and will have two Type-C LNG tanks with capacity of 685 cubic metres each.
The Gothenburg-based Swedish shipping company is a joint venture formed by Wallenius Lines and Svenska Orient Linien. Once delivered in 2021, the two vessels will enter into service in the Baltic Sea trading routes.
