Cement Carriers

World’s first LNG powered cement carrier

Our subsidiary JT Cement operates the cement carriers Greenland and Ireland, launched 2015 and 2016 at Scheepswerf Ferus Smit B.V. in the Netherlands. They were the two first dry cargo vessels in the world fueled by LNG.

In 2019, their sister ship Shetland was also launched.  Shetland has improved cargo carrying capacity and improved LNG tank capacity compared to her sister ships, and she is able to receive shore power. The carbon dioxide emissions of the LNG powered Greenland are down by 45% on the route between the Slite cement plant and Malmö terminal in Sweden, compared with the previous generation of cement vessels.
