China’s Cosco Shipping Energy Transportation and PetroChina will soon take delivery of a new liquefied natural gas (LNG) carrier.

According to a statement by Chinese shipbuilder Hudong-Zhonghua, the 174,000-cbm LNG carrier Daqing (H1908A) completed its “two-in-one” trial on May 13.

CSSC’s Hudong-Zhonghua did not say when it expects to deliver this LNG carrier.

The shipbuilder started building this vessel in October 2023.

This is the first of two 295-meter-long LNG carriers Hudong-Zhonghua built under the third stage of the Cosco Shipping-PetroChina project.

United Liquefied Gas Shipping, a joint venture in which Cosco Shipping has an 81 percent stake and partner PetroChina holds the rest, ordered two LNG carriers in July 2023.

The two vessels are expected to be delivered in the second half of 2025 and the first half of 2026.

Also, the ships feature WinGD X-DF dual-fuel engines and GTT’s NO96 L03+ containment system, such as the previous ships under the PCI program.
