The LNG tank was installed during the shipbuilding process at Hanwha Ocean in South Korea. The Berlin Express containership is the first of 12 newbuildings with 23,600 teu and dual-fuel propulsion.
It was successfully delivered to Hapag-Lloyd on 14 June 2023.
According to the shipping company, the 400-metre-long and 61-metre-wide ship is among the world’s largest vessels.
The vessels will be outfitted with fuel-efficient engines that will run on LNG, but will also have enough tank capacity to run on conventional petroleum.
