Before the delivery, on August 30, Mitsubishi Shipbuilding Co., Ltd. (MHIMSB; President: Koji Okura; Headquarters: Nishi-ku, Yokohama) held a naming ceremony at the Nagasaki Shipyard Koyagi Plant of Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd. . As a crowd of VIPs and well-wishers looked on, the vessel was named the MARVEL HERON by Mitsui & Co., Ltd. (Mitsui & Co.; President & CEO: Tatsuo Yasunaga; Headquarters: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo) Executive Managing Officer Yoshio Kometani.
The MARVEL HERON is the second of the three newbuilding LNG carriers (Note 1), that will sail under charter contracts signed with Mitsui & Co. in September 2014 and January 2015. The vessels will mainly transport LNG from the Mitsui & Co.-backed Cameron LNG project in the U.S. state of Louisiana.
The MARVEL HERON adopts the hybrid dual-shaft Steam Turbine and Gas Engine (STaGE) (Note 2) propulsion system. This is an environment-friendly, economically superior design, which achieves further reduction in fuel costs while minimizing CO₂emissions.
