Keppel O&M delivers its first new build LNG-fuelled container ship to the US

The M/V George III  was delivered to Pasha Hawaii.

Keppel Offshore and Marine (Keppel O&M), through its subsidiary, Keppel AmFELS, has delivered M/V George III – its first new build Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG)-fuelled container ship – to the United States (US). 

M/V George III was one of the two LNG-powered vessels that Keppel AmFELS built for Pasha Hawaii. It measures 774x115-foot and can carry 2,525 TEUs (twenty-foot equivalent units).

As part of Pasha Hawaii’s fleet, M/V George III will serve the Hawaii/Mainland trade lane, making it the pioneer LNG-powered vessel to serve the state.

To add, Keppel O&M said M/V George III is  the first IGF-compliant vessel certified by the United States Coast Guard.

“As we welcome the new M/V George III to the Pasha Hawaii fleet, we stand incredibly proud of the perseverance and commitment of our partners at Keppel AmFELS, and the skilled men and women at the shipyard on this tremendous accomplishment,” said George Pasha, IV, President and CEO of The Pasha Group, parent company to Pasha Hawaii.

Besides M/V George III, Keppel O&M is also building a second LNG-fuelled container ship for Pasha Hawaii, called MV Janet Marie. It will be delivered in 2022.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
