Lloyd’s Register (LR) has identified 200,000-cubic-metre LNG carriers as a potential next step in global fleet renewal, saying larger vessels could increase cargo capacity and reduce transport costs while requiring limited changes to existing terminal infrastructure.
Abu Dhabi-based ADNOC Logistics and Services (ADNOC L&S) on Friday announced a newbuilding order for an additional four next-generation LNG carriers with a total value of approximately $900 million (AED3.3 billion).
