A quartet of Asian shipping powerhouses have won the next tranche of business in the huge QatarEnergy fleet expansion project.
A consortium comprising Nippon Yusen Kaisha (NYK) and Kawasaki Kisen Kaisha (K Line) from Japan, Malaysia’s MISC and China LNG Shipping, the Cosco/China Merchants joint venture, have ordered five 174,000 cu m LNG carriers at Hudong-Zhonghua Shipbuilding in China. The ships will deliver from 2025, going into 2026.
In August, the same Asian grouping ordered seven 174,000 cu m LNG carriers at Hyundai Heavy Industries in South Korea, also for the Qatar project.
