The five VLGCs, each with a capacity of 86,000 cubic metres, will be equipped with dual-fuel engine and will use LPG as primary fuel source.
Captain Abdulkareem Al Masabi, CEO of ADNOC L&S and Chairman of AW Shipping, an ADNOC L&S joint venture with Wanhua Chemical Group (Wanhua), said, “The addition of these new-build, lower-emission vessels to ADNOC L&S’ growing fleet of over 800 owned, operated and chartered vessels, represents another important milestone as we bolster our capacity to capitalise on growing global energy demand.”
Upon delivery, the vessels will be owned and operated by AW Shipping, transporting LPG cargoes sourced from ADNOC and other global suppliers to Wanhua’s manufacturing bases in China and around the world.
Jiangnan Shipyard is also building large-size liquefied natural gas (LNG) carriers for ADNOC L&S which are scheduled for delivery in 2025 and 2026.
