Keel Laying Ceremony for Lucia Cosulich

Another significant step in our newbuilding journey took place on October 9th, 2025, with the keel laying ceremony of Lucia Cosulich, hosted at Taizhou Maple Leaf Shipyard, China.

Following the steel cutting earlier this year, the keel laying marks the start of the vessel’s assembly — when her structure truly begins to take shape.

Lucia Cosulich is the second of four methanol-ready sister vessels, designed to meet the highest safety and efficiency standards for next-generation bunkering operations. Her equipment includes a complete methanol transfer system, Nitrogen Generator System, and phenolic epoxy-coated tanks for superior chemical resistance and flexibility.

This ceremony reinforces Fratelli Cosulich Marine Energy’s long-term vision: to build a future-ready fleet and support a cleaner, safer, and more sustainable marine energy industry.   Discover the gallery of this incredible day!
