Nov 8 (LNGJ) - Capital Gas Ship Management Corp., the LNG fleet owner headquartered in the Greek port of Piraeus, has taken delivery of its latest newbuild LNG carrier, the “Amore Mio I”. The ship with 174,000 cubic metres capacity was built at the Hyundai Heavy Industries shipyard in South Korea.

   Capital Gas said that the carrier is the eighth of the 18 most modern LNG vessels that will be delivered to the company through 2027.
