Celsius revealed the charter deal on Wednesday, but it did not provide further information regarding the contract.
VesselsValue data suggests the charter deal is for 10 years.
“We are truly excited about this new commercial partnership with Jera being one of the key charterers in the LNG shipping industry and look forward to a good and long-lasting partnership,” the company said.
Celsius confirmed it has ordered its 21st 180,000-cbm LNG carrier, which will be delivered in 2027.
This new vessel design will be equipped with WinGD’s latest X-DF 2.2 propulsion system and offer “industry-low fuel consumption and emissions per unit freight.”
Earlier this week, Samsung Heavy secured its first LNG carrier order in 2025, saying that it will build the LNG carrier for an unidentified owner in Oceania.
The shipbuilder will deliver the LNG carrier by June 2027.
The order has a price tag of 379.6 billion won or about $261 million.
Shipbuilding sources said on Monday that Denmark’s Celsius Tankers, a unit of Celsius Shipping, could be behind this order for a single LNG carrier, while Celsius confirmed the LNG carrier order later on Monday by adding the vessel (SN 2729) to its website.
Last year, Celsius took delivery of the sixth 180,000-cbm vessel of ten on order at Samsung Heavy.
In addition to Samsung Heavy vessels, Celisus has ordered six 180,000-cbm LNG carriers from China Merchants Heavy Industry in Jiangsu.
