JT Cement, a joint-venture between KGJ Cement AS (Norway) and Erik Thun AB (Sweden), has launched the world’s first liquified natural gas (LNG)/marine gas oil (MGO) dual-fuel cement carriers.
The joint-venture partners have a long history in transporting cement and developing innovative solutions. As an independent ship owner, JT Cement will mainly contract the vessels to the cement industry, including cement manufacturers and traders.
