South Korea’s Minstry of Oceans and Fisheries is launching a pilot program to build the world’s largest LNG-fueled ship.
The ministry said it would work with local shipyards to develop a class of 180,000-ton LNG-propelled vessels, reports Yonhap news agency. The plans, to be signed on Tuesday, will also include POSCO, South Korea’s top steelmaker, Korea Gas Corporation and Korea Development Bank.
