Belgian shipowner Exmar has revealed it has opened a new French entity.
EXMAR LPG France is based in Saint-Cloud, just to the west of Paris. It has been set up to own and operate six dual-fuel mid-size gas carriers under construction at HD Hyundai Mipo Dockyard in South Korea.
The keel was laid for the first of the six 46,000 cu m LPG/ammonia carriers in August.
The first two vessels in this series will be powered by LPG dual-fuel engines, and the last four will be dual-fuel ammonia.
