Evergas’ latest addition to its fleet, the 7th ‘dragon class’ 27.500 cbm multigas LNG carrier in a series of eight was successfully named the 19th of April, at Sunoco’s terminal in Marcus Hook by Philadelphia, the company said in its press release.
The state-of-the-art carrier was named JS INEOS INDEPENDENCE.
The ‘Dragon’ class vessels are the largest, most flexible and advanced multigas carriers built to date. Strong relations, strategic focus and an innovative approach between Evergas & INEOS have been key elements that allowed for the creation of a seaborne pipeline bringing U.S. ethane across the Atlantic Ocean to Europe. They are a result of close collaboration with world-class makers with whom the development of these sustainable, efficient and highly advanced vessels were made possible.
