New Dual-Fuel Ethane Carrier Joins ADNOC L&S Joint Venture Fleet
AW Shipping, a joint venture between ADNOC L&S and China’s Wanhua Chemical Group, has taken delivery of a second dual-fuel ethane carrier - Gas Mingjiang.
The first 99,000 m3 vessel, Gas Yongjiang, was delivered in August, ADNOC L&S said in a LinkedIn post on Monday.
The vessels can run on ethane and conventional marine fuels.
In July 2024, AW Shipping signed a $1.4 billion contract with Jiangnan Shipyard in China.
All remaining vessels are expected to be delivered by 2028.
"Together, these vessels mark a major step forward in strengthening our ability to deliver cleaner energy to global markets," ADNOC L&S said.
"With each delivery, we are enhancing our capabilities, expanding our global footprint, and reinforcing our commitment to a lower-carbon future."
