HGK Shipping has officially named its new diesel-electric gas tanker Gas 96 at a ceremony in Rotterdam.
The 110 m vessel is HGK’s third gas tanker for inland waterway transportation and is alternative-fuel ready.
The ‘GAS 96’ is not just a tanker for the present time, but also one for the future - Anke Bestmann, managing director of HGK Gas Shipping.
The vessel is designed with provisions to allow future retrofitting to run on alternative fuels such as methanol.
