UAE-based ADNOC Logistics & Services has exercised an option with China’s Jiangnan Shipyard to build two additional 175,000 m³ LNG carriers, worth about $444 million, expanding the series to a total of 16 vessels with deliveries scheduled towards the end of the decade. The new ships will feature greenhouse gas reduction technologies and Jiangnan’s JNIS smart ship platform to optimise operations.
According to recent maritime business reporting, Abu Dhabi’s ADNOC Logistics & Services (ADNOC L&S) has confirmed an option under its existing contract with China’s Jiangnan Shipyard for two more large LNG carriers with a capacity of 175,000 m³ each. These vessels, valued at roughly $444 million for the pair, bring the total series to 16 LNG carriers ordered from the yard. Deliveries are expected towards the latter part of this decade, aligned with ADNOC’s strategy to support long-term LNG export projects from the UAE.
