        美国能源巨头切尼尔能源旗下切尼尔营销国际公司，已与日本航运巨头日本邮船（NYK集团成员）及挪威船东Ocean Yield签署了新建液化天然气运输船的长期租约。

 

        日本邮船与挪威Ocean Yield组成的联营体已与切尼尔签署新建LNG运输船长期租船合同，新船将由韩国现代重工建造，计划2028年起陆续交付。该系列船将采用GTT公司制造的Mark III Flex+型薄膜式液货舱围护系统，其绝缘材料可有效抑制蒸发率。

 

        新船将配备新一代X-DF2.1 iCER智能控制废气再循环系统、可变压缩比系统及双燃料低速柴油发动机，主机可采用燃油与航行中液货舱蒸发的天然气作为燃料，并配备能高效利用富余蒸发气的再液化系统。

 

        这批LNG运输船将配置20万立方米级薄膜式液货舱，采用先进绝缘材料实现卓越能效与经济运输。这将是日本邮船首次通过与切尼尔签署长期期租合同获得的LNG运输船。

 

        船舶总长约294.8米，型宽约48.9米，将搭载配备iCER技术的WinGD低压双燃料主机。该技术据称可使甲烷排放降低达50%，燃气模式下燃料消耗减少约3%，柴油模式下减少约5%。

 

        可变压缩比系统可在发动机运行期间调整压缩比，根据不同机型/额定功率，燃气模式下可降低燃料消耗达6克/千瓦时，柴油模式下可达12克/千瓦时。

 

        日本邮船致力于在2050年前推动最优燃料转换以实现温室气体减排最大化，其近期计划是到2030年扩大LNG动力船队规模，并推广使用最新减排技术。

 

        与此同时，切尼尔正在积极推进其LNG项目，其位于美国德克萨斯州的扩建项目第四条生产线已基本建成。

Cheniere Marketing International, a wholly owned subsidiary of the U.S. energy player Cheniere Energy, has signed off on long-term charter deals for new liquefied natural gas (LNG) carriers (LNGCs) with Japan’s shipping major Nippon Yusen Kaisha (NYK) Line, part of NYK Group, and Norway’s Ocean Yield.

 

NYK Line, in partnership with Ocean Yield, has inked long-term charter contracts with Cheniere for new LNG carriers, which will be built at HD Hyundai Heavy Industries in South Korea. These ships are scheduled to be delivered from 2028. A tank made by Gaztransport & Technigaz (GTT) features the GTT Mark III flex plus cargo containment system that has insulating materials to suppress the boil-off rate.

 

The vessels will be equipped with a next-generation X-DF2.1 intelligent control by exhaust recycling (iCER), variable compression ratio (VCR) system, dual-fuel, low-speed diesel engine that uses fuel oil and boil-off gas, which is LNG vaporized in the cargo tanks during navigation, for the main engine, and a re-liquefaction system that can use surplus boil-off gas effectively.

 

The LNG carriers will have a 200,000 cubic meter capacity membrane-type tank that uses advanced insulating materials to realize superior efficiency and economical LNG transportation. These will be the first LNG carriers NYK has chartered under a long-term time charter contract with Cheniere.

 

With a length overall of about 294.8 meters, a breadth of around 48.9 meters, the vessels will sport WinGD’s low-pressure, dual-fuel main engine equipped with the iCER technology that is said to have the potential to reduce methane emissions by up to 50% and fuel consumption by up to about 3% in gas mode and about 5% in diesel mode.

The VCR is perceived to allow the adjustment of the compression ratio (CR) during operation of the engine, which can curb fuel consumption by up to about 6 g/kWh in gas mode and about 12 g/kWh in diesel mode depending on engine type/rating.

 

Since NYK aims to promote conversion to optimal fuels to maximize greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reduction by 2050, the firm’s near-term plan is to augment the LNG-fueled fleet by 2030 and expand the use of the latest GHG reduction technology.

 

Meanwhile, Cheniere is advancing its LNG projects, as demonstrated by the substantial completion of the fourth train, which is part of its expansion project in Texas, United States.
