Keppel O&M delivers its first new build LNG-fuelled container ship to the US

The M/V George III  was delivered to Pasha Hawaii.

Keppel Offshore and Marine (Keppel O&M), through its subsidiary, Keppel AmFELS, has delivered M/V George III – its first new build Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG)-fuelled container ship – to the United States (US). 

M/V George III was one of the two LNG-powered vessels that Keppel AmFELS built for Pasha Hawaii. It measures 774x115-foot and can carry 2,525 TEUs (twenty-foot equivalent units).

As part of Pasha Hawaii’s fleet, M/V George III will serve the Hawaii/Mainland trade lane, making it the pioneer LNG-powered vessel to serve the state.

To add, Keppel O&M said M/V George III is  the first IGF-compliant vessel certified by the United States Coast Guard.

“As we welcome the new M/V George III to the Pasha Hawaii fleet, we stand incredibly proud of the perseverance and commitment of our partners at Keppel AmFELS, and the skilled men and women at the shipyard on this tremendous accomplishment,” said George Pasha, IV, President and CEO of The Pasha Group, parent company to Pasha Hawaii.

Besides M/V George III, Keppel O&M is also building a second LNG-fuelled container ship for Pasha Hawaii, called MV Janet Marie. It will be delivered in 2022.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.


If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
