Japan’s Mitsui OSK Lines (MOL) has signed another long-term charter contract with QatarEnergy for three newbuild liquefied natural gas (LNG) carriers.
The vessels will be built at CSSC-affiliated Hudong-Zhonghua Shipbuilding and are scheduled for delivery in 2027.
MOL signed a long-term charter contract with QatarEnergy in April 2022 for four newbuilds, and the latest deal will now see seven ships serve Qatar’s state-owned North Field expansion project, which will increase LNG production capacity from 77m tons per year to 126m tons per year by 2027.
The first four 174,000 cu m vessels will also be built at Hudong-Zhonghua slated for delivery from 2024 through 2025.
