Mitsui OSK Lines (MOL) and China COSCO Shipping recently christened a new LNG carrier.
The 295- by 45-metre vessel, which will be jointly owned by the two companies, has been named LNG Phecda after a star in the constellation Ursa Major. It is the third in a planned series of four that will serve the Yamal LNG Project in Russia.
