    THE Zim Mount Blanc, one of Seaspan's LNG dual fuel vessels with a capacity of 15,000 TEU, commenced its maiden voyage after departing from the South Korean shipyard Samsung Heavy Industries (SHI), reports Rotterdam's Offshore Energy.

    This departure follows a twin naming ceremony held at SHI a month ago, where Seaspan introduced its second and third LNG-dual fuel containerships, namely, the Zim Mount Everest and Zim Mount Blanc.

    Seaspan Corporation has entrusted Samsung Heavy Industries (SHI) with the construction of 10 ships, which include the LNG-powered vessels Sammy Offer and two additional sister ships.

    These vessels will be added to the Zim fleet, through a long-term charter agreement valued at US$1.8 billion for all 10 ships.

    To ensure a consistent supply of liquefied natural gas (LNG) for these vessels, Zim has signed a decade-long marine LNG sales and purchase agreement with Shell worth over $1 billion.
