This is the third of 12 LNG carriers that the consortium is building for Qatar Energy, the state-owned energy company of Qatar, and it is the first time they have ordered a vessel from HHI. Also, this is the first time that Nippon Yusen Group will be managing a vessel for the consortium.
The "AL ZUWAIR" uses fuel oil and boil-off gas as fuel. It employs a state-of-the-art dual-fuel engine and air lubrication system that offer superior fuel efficiency.
The ship is equipped with a reliquefaction system that liquefies excess boil-off gas and returns it to the tank, contributing to the reduction of greenhouse gases (GHGs) through efficient operation.
