The 8,200-TEU vessel can run on both LNG and conventional marine fuels, and will operate on a service linking China, Singapore, Ghana, Togo, Nigeria and Côte d’Ivoire.

It is the third in a series of four 8,200-TEU LNG dual-fuel ships that PIL ordered from China’s Yangzijiang Shipbuilding, following the Kota Oasis launched in April and the Kota Ocean in June.
