Mitsui O.S.K. Lines, Ltd. has confirmed the delivery of the LPG dual-fuel very large gas carrier (VLGC) Energia Grandeur, built at HD Hyundai Samho Co., Ltd. The handover took place on 29 January 2026 at Mokpo Port, South Korea, for group company MOL Energia Pte. Ltd.
The vessel will operate on a time charter to CSSA Chartering and Shipping Services SA, a subsidiary of TotalEnergies. The newbuilding carries the group’s “BLUE” series livery, aligned with its fleet development focus.
Configured to run on LPG and heavy oil, the ship is described as capable of reducing CO₂ emissions by about 20% when operating on LPG, while cutting SOx, PM, and other pollutants by about 90% compared with heavy oil. The design is also intended to allow the carriage of ammonia.
Efficiency measures include a shaft generator, which is positioned to deliver additional greenhouse-gas reductions versus conventional LPG dual-fuel VLGCs. Financing for the vessel includes the use of a transition-linked loan.
Key particulars listed for the ship are LOA 230 m, breadth 32.3 m, and cargo tank capacity 88,000 m³, with completion scheduled for 2026.
