GasLog Italy: a state-of-the-art liquefied natural gas carrier
The GasLog Italy is powered by two HP-2S MEGI engines, a technology recognized for its efficiency and low environmental impact. In addition, it features two shaft generators, an air lubrication system (ALS) that improves fuel efficiency, and a full reliquefaction system (FRS) that allows for optimal handling of the LNG during transport.
The vessel, 294.9 meters long and 46.4 meters wide, was officially christened on July 10 in a ceremony at Hanwha Ocean’s shipyard in Geoje, South Korea. During the ceremony, Mrs. Ilaria Azzimonti, Head of Eni S.p.A.’s LNG Portfolio, acted as godmother, sealing the event with the traditional breaking of a bottle of champagne over the vessel’s hull.
GasLog, known for its relentless focus on safety and operational excellence, continues to expand its fleet with cutting-edge technologies, reinforcing its commitment to sustainability and efficiency in LNG shipping. This achievement also underscores Hanwha Ocean’s ability to deliver highly sophisticated vessels that meet the highest industry standards.
