The vessel, named GasLog Wellington, features X-DF low-pressure, two-stroke main engines, and GTT Mark III Flex Plus cargo containment systems.
It will also be capable of transporting 180,000 cubic meters of the chilled fuel.
GasLog added that the delivery of GasLog Wellington is scheduled for June 15, 2021.
Following delivery, the vessel will be chartered to Cheniere Energy.
