According to
informed sources reported that India's largest liquefied gas tanker operator
Varun Shipping has signed a letter of intent and the Jiangnan Shipyard, will
order up to 6 ships of VLGC, the total value of about $420 million.
Last July, India
owner Varun Shipping announced plans to order 6 ships VLGC. The face of fierce
competition in South Korea's two largest shipbuilding giant Hyundai and Daewoo
shipbuilding, Jiangnan Shipbuilding ultimately is expected to get 6 vessels of
super large gas carriers (VLGC) order.
Jiangnan Shipyard
is one of the oldest military shipbuilding enterprises in China, and also
China's first set foot in the field of VLGC shipyard. Last year, the South
China Shipbuilding batch delivery of China's first 83 thousand party VLGC super
large liquefied petroleum gas ship, for the construction of China's
international large-scale liquefied petroleum gas ship established a new voice
in the field.
At present, the Jiangnan Shipbuilding in
liquefied petroleum gas ship has 21 thousand cubic meters of LEG ship, VLGC
cubic meters of LPG ship, 37 thousand and 500 cubic meters of LEG ship, as well
as the construction of the performance of 83 thousand cubic meters, 84 thousand
cubic meters. Among them, the Jiangnan Shipbuilding Design and development of
the 37 thousand and 500 cubic meters of LEG ship is the world's largest
ethylene transport ship, and successfully received orders. At the same time,
Jiangnan Shipyard of liquefied gas tanker market segments and key technology of
the full research and analysis, the development of 6000 cubic meters of small
gas carriers (SGC) to 100 thousand cubic meters of ultra large gas carriers
(ULGC) of the whole series of liquefied gas ship, liquefied gas ship to meet
the growing market demand. This indicates that the level of research and
development of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) in the south of the Yangtze River
has reached a new height.
