ADNOC Logistics & Services, the maritime logistics arm of ADNOC Group, is expanding its fleet with the construction of five new very large gas carriers (VLGCs) at the Chinese yard CSSC Jiangnan Shipyard.

The five VLGCs, each with a capacity of 86,000 cubic meters, will be equipped with dual-fuel engines and will use LPG as the primary fuel source.

Captain Abdulkareem Al Masabi, CEO of ADNOC L&S and Chairman of AW Shipping, a joint venture between ADNOC L&S and Wanhua Chemical Group (Wanhua), said: “The addition of these newly built, lower emission vessels to ADNOC L&S’ growing fleet of over 800 Owned, operated and chartered vessels represent another important milestone as we strengthen our capacity to capitalize on growing global energy needs.”

Upon delivery, the vessels will be owned and operated by AW Shipping, which will transport LPG cargoes sourced from ADNOC and other global suppliers to Wanhua’s manufacturing facilities in China and around the world.

Jiangnan Shipyard is also building large liquefied natural gas (LNG) carriers for ADNOC L&S, which are scheduled for delivery in 2025 and 2026.
