據6月8日Offshore Energy報道，韓國大宇造船與海洋工程公司(Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering)獲得了一份為俄羅斯液化天然氣生產商諾瓦泰克（Novatek）建造液化天然氣駁船的訂單。

根據協議，DSME將以約9013億韓圓(7.482億美元)的價格建造兩艘36萬立方米液化天然氣駁船，并且擁有增建兩艘的選擇權。

這些浮式液化天然氣儲存和轉運裝置將服務于諾瓦泰克在摩爾曼斯克和勘察加半島的計劃項目。諾瓦泰克將與日本三井石油公司(Mitsui O.S.K. Lines)共同開發這些項目。

這些浮式裝置將把亞馬爾和北極2號項目的貨物從破冰液化天然氣運輸船中轉到常規船只。這些中轉樞紐將大大降低北極液化天然氣運往歐洲和亞洲的運輸成本和運輸時間。

這家韓國船廠在一份聲明中表示，預計將在2022年底前交付這兩艘液化天然氣駁船。并表示，在市場動蕩，多個大型項目延期后，這份訂單將為公司帶來助力。

隨著全球能源需求大幅下滑，油價觸及歷史低點，船東們減少了訂單，韓國造船企業今年的訂單大幅下降。

DSME今年獲得了價值13.3億美元的交易，包括這兩艘駁船和一個浮式存儲和再氣化裝置。

今年最大的新聞是卡塔爾石油公司(Qatar Petroleum)的一筆大額訂單，這家液化天然氣巨頭已經在包括DSME在內的韓國三大船廠預訂了100多艘價值約192億美元的船只。

這是液化天然氣行業歷史上最大的一筆造船交易，而到2027年，QP將獲得全球液化天然氣造船產能的約60%。

由于QP并沒有在其公告中透露這一信息，造船商對該訂單的具體歸屬仍有待觀察。

DSME scores Novatek LNG order

South Korea’s Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering has won an order to build liquefied natural gas barges for Russian LNG producer Novatek.

Under the deal, Daweoo will build two 360,000-cbm LNG barges for about 901.3 billion won ($748.2 million) with an option for two additional units.

The floating LNG storage and transshipment units will serve Novatek’s planned projects in Murmansk and Kamchatka that the Russian company will develop with Japan’s Mitsui O.S.K. Lines.

The floating units will transship Yamal and Arctic 2 cargoes from ice-breaking LNG carriers to conventional ships.

These transshipment hubs will significantly reduce transportation costs and shipping time of Arctic LNG cargoes going to Europe and Asia.

The Korean shipbuilder said in a statement on Monday that it expects to deliver the two LNG barges by the end of 2022.

Daewoo said that this deal will help the yard in the wake of the Covid-19 coronavirus pandemic which disturbed markets and caused delays for several large-scale projects.

Korean shipbuilders saw a significant decline in their order books this year due to owners holding back on orders as global energy demand nosedived and oil prices hit record lows.

Daewoo bagged $1.33 billion worth of deals this year including these two barges and a floating storage and regasification unit.

The biggest news this year was a huge order by Qatar Petroleum as the LNG giant has booked slots to secure more than 100 vessels worth about $19.2 billion at the Korean three biggest yards including DSME.

This is the largest shipbuilding deal in the history of the LNG industry whereas QP secured about 60 per cent of the global LNG shipbuilding capacity through 2027.

Breakdown of this order by shipbuilder is yet to be seen as QP did not reveal this info in its announcement.
