Dalian: Japanese shipbuilder Kawasaki Heavy Industries (KHI) is considering constructing large-sized LNG fuelled ships in China.
The company will build large-sized ships including oil tankers, containerships, and roro vessels using LNG as fuel from 2015 at its joint venture shipyard with Cosco in Nantong, NACKS. KHI said building in China was 20% cheaper than Japan and it expected big name Chinese shipping companies to be among the clients cueing up for these new environmentally friendly ship types.
