ADNOC Logistics & Services, the shipping and maritime logistics arm of the Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC), has signed a contract to build two 175,000m3 LNG vessels that will join its fleet in 2025. The pair of newbuildings, significantly larger than the company’s existing LNG carriers, will be constructed at the Jiangnan Shipyard in China.
Captain Abdulkareem Al Masabi, CEO of ADNOC L&S, said: “The expansion and modernisation of our LNG fleet will be a key enabler of ADNOC L&S’ growth strategy. This acquisition helps future-proof our fleet with more sustainable, modern vessels capable of serving our customers for the next 25 years and deepens our partnership with Jiangnan Shipyard.”
The acquisition of larger, more energy-efficient vessels is expected to allow ADNOC L&S to meet growing customer demand while improving the environmental footprint of its fleet.
The new vessels’ engine technology will cut emissions and, in combination with the innovative Air Lubrication System, further reduce fuel consumption by at least 10 per cent. These vessels will also feature partial reliquefaction systems, which reduce emissions and conserve cargo levels.
