  • The first LNT A-BOX® type LNG carrier, the 45,000m3 “LNG Jia Xing” ex- “Saga Dawn”, was delivered in 2020 and has traded successfully in Southeast Asia since then.

  • She has frequented a number of different terminals, including large-scale LNG liquefaction plants, STS from re-export hubs and medium-scale import terminals.

  • The vessel also carried part-cargos at around 50% loading and received cargos via ship-to-ship transfer from conventional-size LNG carrier.

  • The cargo system has proven its flexibility and operated without any issues. Feedback from owners, charterers and crew has been very positive.

  • The performance is within specifications, and the cargo containment system has proven to offer very stable temperature during all operations. 

  • The ship went successfully through its first 5 years docking and class survey in January 2025 confirming the excellent performance.
