Hudong-Zhonghua Shipbuilding (Group) is involved in the construction of these new LNG vessels.

Along with the seven long-term time-charter contracts received in August, the consortium now has a total of 12 newbuilding LNG carrier charter contracts from QatarEnergy.

The new LNG carriers will feature eco-friendly technologies such as X-DF 2.1 engines, with Intelligent Control by the Exhaust Recycling (iCER) System, that will lower greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.

The 174,000m³ LNG carriers, which are expected to be delivered starting in 2025, will be used by QatarEnergy to transport LNG to several countries across the world.
