China Merchants Energy Shipping (CMES) is to implement Ascenz Marorka’s digital systems on eight LNG carriers under construction at Dalian Shipbuilding Industry Co. (DSIC) in China.
The 175,000 m³ vessels, scheduled for delivery between late 2025 and mid-2027, will be the first LNG carriers fully owned and operated by CMES.
In addition to the Mark III Flex membrane containment system provided by Ascenz Marorka’s parent company GTT, the ships will also be equipped with a range of onboard systems, real-time performance monitoring, LNG cargo management modules, weather routing, and voyage optimisation tools from the software provider.
“In selecting GTT and Ascenz Marorka, we are placing our trust in world-class LNG expertise,” said Sheng Shanxing, Vice President of CMES LNG Shipping Company.
“Their digital solutions provide not only the tools but also the insight to operate our LNG fleet more safely and efficiently, delivering long-term value to our company and to our charterers.”
