Danish gas shipping company Evergas has taken delivery of the third 27,000cbm 'Dragon Class' multi-gas carrier from Chinese shipyard Sinopacific Offshore & Engineering.

The third multi-gas carrier, named JS Ineos Intrepid, is a part of a series of four identical vessels ordered by Evergas at Sinopacific back in 2013. The order was further expanded to eight vessels in 2014.

All eight Dragons are chartered by INEOS Europe for the transportation of ethane to Europe from the Mariner East project in the USA. The carriers are built for the transportation of ethane, although they can carry a wide range of petrochemical gases and LPG.

The Dragon class vessels are 180 metres long and 26.6 metres wide, with a draft of approximately 9 metres.

Similar to its two sister vessels – JS Ineos Insight and JS Ineos Ingenuity – JS Ineos Intrepid bears a distinct dragon symbolizing its Chinese and Western heritage. The dragon chosen to sail and protect JS Ineos Intrepid is the King of Sun.
