Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering has won orders for 3 super-sized crude oil carriers, and is doing its best to secure work until the end.
On the 3rd, Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering (CEO Lee Seong-geun) announced on the 3rd that it has won an order for 3 super-large crude oil carriers from Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC), Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates.
The ultra-large crude oil carrier ordered this time is a ship that satisfies the EEDI Phase 2 (Energy Efficiency Design Index), a greenhouse gas emission regulation that has been applied by IMO, an international maritime organization, and built at the Okpo Shipyard of Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering. It is expected to be delivered to shipowners by the first quarter of 2023.
An official from Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering said, “Adnoc is the first to order a super-large crude oil carrier to a Korean shipyard, and it is a company that is expected to place additional orders for other types of ships in the future.” The contract is included, so we will do our best to build the highest quality ships and maintain a lasting friendly relationship.”
Instead of installing a scrubber, which is a desulfurization device, the ship uses low-sulfur oil, or it includes an option to change to a dual-fuel propulsion ship that can use liquefied natural gas (LNG) as ship fuel in the future. When it is decided as an LNG-propelled ship, it is expected that a high-pressure dual fuel propulsion engine (ME-GI engine) and a fuel tank using high manganese steel will be applied to the world’s first ultra-large crude oil carrier.
As demand for LNG-powered tankers is expected to increase in line with expectations for a global economic recovery and eco-friendly stance, Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering, which has the best technology in the ultra-large crude oil carrier field, is expected to benefit. In addition, it is expected to accelerate the decarbonization of the company’s final goal. According to Clarkson Research (as of the end of November), Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering has built 161 of the 834 ultra-large crude oil carriers currently in operation based on a single shipyard.
On the other hand, Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering has won orders worth about $40.6 billion this year for a total of 21 ships including 9 LNG carriers (including LNG-FSU and FSRU), 4 container ships, 2 shuttle tankers, 5 VLCCs, and 1 VLGC. About 56.3% of the target was achieved. End.
