Erasmus Shipinvest Group, a shipping company based in Vouliagmeni, Greece, has recently welcomed the addition of its latest LPG carrier named 'Gas Long'. This addition marks the fourth ship in a series of new vessels designed for the transportation of liquefied petroleum gas, built at the reputable Japanese shipyard Shitanoe Zosen. The company, which is overseen by CEO John Su, emphasizes its commitment to expanding its fleet in a market influenced by increasing demand for energy transport services.

The 'Gas Long' is registered under the Panamanian flag and holds classification by the American Bureau of Shipping (ABS), ensuring that it meets international standards for safety and operational efficiency. This new vessel has already begun its operational role, engaging in a multi-year contract with the Norwegian energy giant Equinor. The collaboration aims to facilitate the transport of LPG to the European market, aligning with Erasmus' strategic goals to enhance its service offerings and market presence.

With this latest addition, Erasmus Shipinvest's LPG fleet now surpasses 20 vessels, positioning the group among the leading owners of pressurized gas carriers globally. The company's growth trajectory reflects a robust strategy to solidify its status in an industry that is vital for energy distribution, especially in light of Europe's evolving energy needs and the focus on sustainable solutions in maritime transport.
