ADNOC Logistics & Services has taken delivery of its sixth 175,000 m³ new-build LNG carrier from Jiangnan Shipyard in China.
The addition of this vessel further strengthens ADNOC L&S’ role in enabling the reliable movement of energy across global markets. The vessel is part of a US$ 1.2bn LNG fleet order placed in 2022, supporting the expansion and modernisation of the company’s fleet to meet global market demand with enhanced efficiency.
“Each new carrier strengthens our ability to reliably deliver energy and essential commodities across international routes, particularly at a time when supply chains are under pressure,” stated Captain Abdulkareem Al Masabi, CEO, ADNOC L&S.
Supply resilience
A single 175,000cbm LNG shipment contains approximately 1.1 TWh of energy, equivalent to the typical winter gas demand of around 100,000 households in Central Europe. LNG is a key component of supply resilience, supporting system balance during periods of peak demand.
The expansion of the company’s shipping capacity is aligned with the Group’s overall growth, supporting its downstream operations while reinforcing the UAE’s role in the global energy supply chain.
Ms. Muna Mussa, Manager of General Services at ADNOC L&S, acted as ‘godmother’ in the naming ceremony of Al Taweelah, which means ‘the long one’ in Arabic. The ceremony was held at the Jiangnan Shipyard in Shanghai.
Equipped with advanced energy-efficient technologies, the new 175,000cbm LNG vessels are designed to reduce methane emissions by up to 50% compared to older-generation technology.
