TMS Cardiff Gas places order for LNG carriers

Greece-based TMS Cardiff Gas has ordered a 174,000-cubic-metre LNG carrier with XDF propulsion at South Korea's Hyundai Heavy Industries (HHI).

The construction contract comes with an option for a second vessel.

TMS Cardiff Gas founder Christos Economou said the vessel was scheduled for delivery in 2020, when she will enter a seven-year time charter contract with Total Gas and Power Chartering.
