<\/strong>QatarEnergy + Nakilat ink another long-term charter: <\/strong>Qatar\u2019s state-owned energy player QatarEnergy and tanker operator Nakilat inked a long-term agreement to charter and operate nine QC-Max LNG ships, according to a statement<\/a> released last week. The move comes as part of QatarEnergy\u2019s drive to boost its LNG fleet. No investment ticket or timeline was disclosed as part of the statement.<\/p>\n

Details:<\/strong> Nakilat will fully own and operate the vessels \u2013 each with a capacity of 271k cubic meters \u2013 which will be chartered QatarEnergy affiliates. The ships will be built at China\u2019s Hudong-Zhonghua shipyards. The move takes Nakila\u2019s total number of secured LNG vessels to 34 and comes on the heels of another time-charter party agreement inked in March<\/a> for the operation of 25 conventional size LNG vessels.<\/p>\n

QatarEnergy is doubling down on fleet expansion:<\/strong> The state-owned energy player is undergoing a historic fleet expansion drive in a bid to support boosted production from Qatar\u2019s North Field, the statement said. QatarEnergy and Chinese shipbuilder Hudong-Zhonghua signed a USD 2.4 bn agreement<\/a> in January for the construction of eight Q-Max LNG carriers, each with a carrying capacity of 271k cubic meters. The vessels \u2013 the largest ever built of their kind in capacity \u2013 are set to be delivered in 2028 and 2029. The firm also closed a QR 14.2 bn (USD 3.9 bn) agreement last September<\/a> with Korea\u2019s HD Hyundai Heavy Industries (HHI) for 17 \u201cultra-modern\u201d LNG carriers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
