The 210,000-dwt bulk carrier, Mount Aconcagua, can run on both LNG and conventional marine fuels. It will be chartered to an unnamed Japanese shipping company for a period of 22-26 months, with an option for 11-13 months extension.

The company took delivery of its 10th vessel of the series last month, with the final vessel expected to be delivered later this month.
