Norway’s JT Cement AS has ordered a pneumatic cement carrier from Netherlands-based Ferus Smit, according to Erik Thun AB. The ship will be the sister vessel of M/V Greenland and is scheduled for delivery in July 2019.

"The vessel will be an improved version of Greenland but with a somewhat larger cargo carrying capacity at 8000dwt. In addition, we will increase the LNG tank capacity to 200m3, improving the steaming time on LNG," stated Erik Thun.

The project will be handled by MF Shipping Group with support from KGJS project department and the KGJC handling team, reports World Maritime News.
