Celsius Georgetown has an LOA of 298.8 metres (980.3 feet), a beam of 48 metres (160 feet), a draught of 11.5 metres (37.7 feet), a depth of 26.5 metres (86.9 feet), a deadweight of 96,000, a gross tonnage of more than 120,000, and a total cargo capacity of 180,000 cubic metres.
According to Chinese media, the ship’s dimensions make her the largest LNG carrier to be independently designed and built in China (slightly surpassing the 174,000-cubic-metre vessels constructed by another Chinese yard for a Qatari operator).
Two MAN 5GME-C10-GA dual-fuel main engines that can also run on LNG will deliver a service speed of 19.5 knots and a range of 22,000 nautical miles. The ship is therefore suitable for global trade, accessing terminals across such diverse regions as Australia, North America, Europe and the Middle East.
