        阿布扎比国家石油公司物流子公司（ADNOC L&S）与万华化学的合资企业喜迎全球首艘环保型双燃料超大型乙烷运输船。由ADNOC L&S与万华化学合资成立的AW航运公司日前在中国江南造船厂迎来9.8万立方米乙烷运输船"格栅永江"号。该船是江南造船在建的9艘超大型乙烷运输船（VLEC）中的首制船。

 

        据披露，"格栅永江"号已于8月14日交付，该船被誉为全球最大乙烷运输船之一，配备节能双燃料发动机，将根据20年期租合同投入运营。据了解，其余8艘船舶将于2025至2027年间陆续交付。

 

        在接收乙烷运输船之际，ADNOC L&S还接收了"阿尔里夫"号液化天然气运输船（LNG）。这是其在江南造船订造的6艘LNG运输船中的第三艘。首制船"阿尔舍利拉"号于去年11月底交付，第二艘"阿尔拉赫巴"号于2025年5月交付。

 

        AW航运董事长兼ADNOC L&S首席执行官阿卜杜勒卡里姆·阿尔马萨比表示，这艘环保双燃料超大型乙烷运输船的交付是公司船队扩张计划的"重要里程碑"，标志着公司正式进入全球乙烷运输市场，并强化了在亚洲市场的战略布局。

 

        值得关注的是，2024年7月，AW航运与江南造船签署总价值约19亿美元的造船合同，订造9艘VLEC和2艘9.3万立方米超大型液氨运输船（VLAC）。ADNOC L&S代表当时透露，这是该合资企业自2020年成立以来"最大的订单"。

 

        这批液氨运输船同样将创下全球同类型船舶的最大规模纪录。首制船已于今年4月开工建造，紧随"格栅永江"号交付之后启动。

AW Shipping, a joint venture company between ADNOC L&S and Wanhua Chemical, has welcomed the 98,000 cbm Gas Yongjiang, the inaugural unit out of nine very large ethane carriers (VLECs) under construction at China’s Jiangnan Shipyard.

 

As disclosed, Gas Yongjiang—described as one of the ‘world’s largest’ ethane carriers featuring energy-efficient dual-fuel engines—was delivered on August 14, and is now set to begin operations under a 20-year time charter agreement.

 

It is understood that the remaining eight vessels are due to be turned over between 2025 and 2027.

 

Against the backdrop of the ethane carrier’s delivery, ADNOC L&S also received Al Reef, the third of six liquefied natural gas (LNG) carriers, also booked at Jiangnan Shipyard. The first of these future-fit units, the Al Shelila, was handed over at the end of November last year, while the second one, christened Al Rahba, was delivered in May 2025.

 

Speaking about the occasion, Abdulkareem Al Masabi, Chairman of AW Shipping and CEO of ADNOC L&S, highlighted that the delivery of the environmentally friendly, dual-fuel very large ethane carrier marked a “significant milestone” in the company’s fleet expansion plans, particularly in terms of entering the global ethane shipping market and ‘strengthening’ the position within the Asian markets.

 

To remind, AW Shipping awarded shipbuilding contracts valued at around a staggering $1.9 billion to Jiangnan Shipbuilding for the construction of nine VLECs and two 93,0000 cbm very large ammonia carriers (VLACs) in July 2024.

 

At the time, representatives of ADNOC L&S revealed that this was “the largest order of the joint venture”, which was founded in 2020.

 

The ammonia carriers are also being hailed as ‘the biggest’ of their type in the world. The construction work of the first vessel began in April this year. This took place on the heels of the launch of Gas Yongjiang.
