Nakilat takes delivery of second LNG carrier with green propulsion system
Qatar’s LNG shipping operator Nakilat said on Monday it had taken delivery of a newbuild LNG carrier called Global Sealine, the second vessel with environment-friendly X-DF propulsion system to join the company’s 74-ship fleet.
The vessel will be commercially and technically managed in-house by Nakilat Shipping Qatar Limited (NSQL) and has been chartered to Cheniere Marketing International LLP, Nakilat said in a statement.
Built by Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering (DSME) in South Korea, this is the final LNG newbuild carrier to be delivered to Global Shipping Co. Ltd., a 60-40 joint venture between Nakilat and Maran Ventures Inc.
Global Sealine has a cargo carrying capacity of 174,000 cubic meters, the company said. Three of its sister vessels were delivered between 2020-2021 and are all under time charters.
“The addition of this vessel to our fleet allows the company to offer greater operational flexibility to our charterers as the X-DF engine propulsion is proven to be more fuel efficient and more environmentally friendly due to the lower Carbon emissions,” Nakilat’s Chief Executive Officer Eng. Abdullah Al Sulaiti said in a statement.
