The MoU seeks to leverage on Engineers India’s knowhow in process and systems engineering and Cochin Shipyard’s strengths in ship design and construction.

The collaboration is expected to create an LNG value chain ecosystem to cater to the coastal and inland water transport segment in the Indian subcontinent.
