Abu Dhabi National Oil Company\u00a0(ADNOC)\u00a0has placed an order for three very large crude carriers (VLCCs) with South Korean shipbuilder Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering.<\/p>\n
The contract is worth KRW 282 billion ($ 260 million), according to the shipbuilder.<\/p>\n
The VLCC trio will be compliant with the Energy Efficiency Design Index (EEDI) 2 once constructed at DSME’s Okpo shipyard. The contract includes options for three additional ships.<\/p>\n
The vessels are scheduled for delivery in the first quarter of 2023.<\/p>\n
DSME said that the ships are intended to run on low sulphur fuel, instead of being fitted with a scrubber, to meet the IMO 2020 Sulphur Cap, or feature a duel-fuel engine enabling the ship to run on LNG as its potential future fuel.<\/p>\n
If ADNOC moves forwards with the LNG dual-fuel option, the ships will become the industry\u2019s first ultra-large crude oil carriers to have a high-pressure dual-fuel engine (ME-GI engine) and a fuel tank made of high manganese steel. <\/p>\n
DSME has won orders for a total of 21 ships this year including 9 LNG carriers, 4 container ships, 2 shuttle tankers, 5 VLCCs, and 1 VLGC, achieving about 56.3% of its target.<\/p>\n
