Pacific Breeze, a 182,000 cu. m. capacity LNG carrier, is the world’s largest MOSS type LNG carrier ever constructed, built at Kawasaki Heavy Industries, Ltd., Japan (KHI). This capacity was achieved by extending the equatorial ring section of No. 3 and 4 cargo tanks by 1.6m in height from the conventional spherical shape, which increases approximately 5,000m3 from the second largest MOSS type LNG carrier constructed by KHI. Kawasaki Panel System was adopted for the thermal insulation system of the cargo tanks, which offers outstanding LNG boil-off rate performance of no more than 0.08% per day. This ship is equipped with a Tri-Fuel diesel (TFD) electric propulsion system performing excellent fuel efficiency across a broad range of speeds. PACIFIC BREEZE is time-chartered by IT Marine Transport Pte. Ltd., a joint-venture company of INPEX Shipping Co., Ltd. and Total Marine Transport B.V. and engaged in transportation of LNG produced at the Ichthys LNG Project in Darwin, Australia.
