The Flanders Loyalty is an liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) tanker owned by Exmar Shipping, Antwerp, Belgium. She was built by Daewoo Shipbuilding and Marine Engineering Co, Ltd, Korea. She is one of two identically constructed ships, and she and her sister ship, the Flanders Liberty, are both built to transport liquefied gasses like propane, butane and ammonia. The keel of the Flanders Loyalty was laid on 1 June 2007, she was launched on 29 August 2007 and finally delivered to her owner on 16 January 2008. The naming ceremony took place on 6 November 2007. The Flanders Loyalty and the Flanders Liberty, were named together in the Daewoo shipyard.
Sea trials were held in December 2007 and on 16 January 2007 she took her maiden voyage (first voyage af a new built ship) from Okpo, South Korea to the Port of Tanjung Pelepas in Malaysia, where amounts of different gases were taken onboard by ship-to-ship transfer, in order to execute all the gas trials necessary before the ship could finally be operated.
After completion of the tests she went to Singapore anchorage for some bunkering (taking on fuel and supplies). Her first port of loading was Ruwais in the United Arab Emirates. There she loaded butane which she discharged one day later in Jebel Ali, also in the United Arab Emirates.
In her first 10 months of service she has called to 30 ports, all of them located between Japan and the Persian Gulf.
