Adnoc L&S takes delivery of LNG carrier in China

UAE’s Adnoc L&S, a unit of state-owned energy giant Adnoc, has taken delivery of the second 175,000-cbm LNG carrier from China’s Jiangnan Shipyard.

Adnoc L&S announced the delivery of the LNG carrier Al Rahba in a statement on Monday.

Al Rahba is the second of six LNG carriers Adnoc L&S ordered during 2022 from Jiangnan.

The entire order is worth more than $1.2 billion.

In November 2024, Adnoc L&S welcomed the first LNG carrier in this batch, Al Shelila.

Earlier this year, Jiangnan launched the third vessel, Al Reef.

Adnoc L&S expects to take delivery of the remaining vessels in 2025 and 2026.

These “LNG Jumbo” dual-fuel carriers feature GTT’s Mark III Flex membrane system and a partial reliquefaction system.

Adnoc is investing heavily in its LNG business. In June 2024, it made the final investment decision to build its LNG export terminal in Al Ruwais.

The LNG project will consist of two 4.8 mtpa trains with a total capacity of 9.6 mtpa, more than doubling Adnoc’s existing UAE LNG production capacity to around 15 mtpa, as the company builds its international LNG portfolio.

Adnoc currently owns a 70 percent stake in Adnoc LNG, which produces about 6 mtpa of LNG from its facilities on Das Island.

Adnoc L&S’s existing fleet of Moss-type, steam turbine LNG carriers serves its terminal on Das Island.

Last year, the company also ordered eight LNG carriers from South Korean shipbuilders Samsung Heavy Industries and Hanwha Ocean.

These LNG carriers are expected to serve Adnoc’s second LNG terminal in Al Ruwais.
