Norway’s Knutsen has taken delivery of a liquefied natural gas (LNG) carrier chartered to France’s Engie.
Knutsen and its unit Knutsen LNG France announced the delivery of Amaryllis Knutsen from South Koreas’s HD Hyundai Samho in social media posts last week.
The 174,000-cbm LNG carrier is the last vessel in the series built by HD Hyundai Samho.
Chartered to Engie, the LNG carier already started its first commercial voyage.
Knutsen set a new record with nine newbuildings delivered this year – eight LNG carriers and one shuttle tanker.
“Now, we take a short break before continuing next year with an even more ambitious plan: 10 newbuildings scheduled for delivery in 2026,” the company said.
Earlier this year, Knutsen and UK-based energy giant Shell named the ninth and final LNG carrier in a series of 174,000-cbm vessels, Zoe Knutsen.
The series began with Santander Knutsen, delivered in June 2022, and has since grown into a fleet of LNG carriers.
