Chinese shipbuilder Hudong-Zhonghua has hosted a naming ceremony for two 174,000-cbm liquefied natural gas (LNG) carriers it built for Japan’s K Line and Malaysia’s Petronas.
US liquefied natural gas (LNG) plants sent 32 cargoes during the week ending September 2, up one shipment from the week before, according to the Energy Information Administration.
Taiwan’s Yang Ming Marine Transport has signed a shipbuilding deal with South Korea’s Hanwha Ocean for the construction of six LNG-powered containerships.
Honduras is set to launch its first LNG-to-power project with the arrival of the second liquefied natural gas cargo at the floating storage unit (FSU) Bilbao Knutsen in Puerto Cortes.
South Korean shipbuilder Hanwha Ocean said on Monday that mid- to long-term demand for LNG carrier newbuildings is driven by higher ton-mile demand from stronger energy security policies and LNG supply diversification toward the US and other exporters amid Middle East disruptions.
