It follows a ten-year LPG supply contract that was signed between ADNOC and Wanhua in November 2018.

ADNOC group CEO and UAE Minister of Industry and Advanced Technology Sultan Ahmed Al Jaber said: “We are very pleased to establish this strategic joint venture with Wanhua Chemical Group. This creative win-win partnership strengthens our growing relationship and will deliver greater value and efficiency for both our organisations.

“Importantly, the JV further solidifies ADNOC L&S’ position as the largest, fully integrated logistics and shipping company in the UAE and paves the way for the transportation of greater LPG volumes to China in line with market demand.

“The establishment of AW Shipping supports ADNOC’s smart growth and value creation strategy and is another example of how ADNOC is stretching the margin from every molecule that we produce, refine, ship and sell while also forging stronger partnerships in key growth markets.”
