ADNOC Logistics and Services has taken delivery of ‘Arzanah’ – its third new-built very large crude carrier (VLCC).
‘Arzanah’ is the third of four LNG dual-fuel VLCCs that has been delivered to ADNOC L&S this year. Two VLCCs were delivered in June and July. A fourth carrier is set to join the fleet in the fourth quarter.
All vessels are built by Hanwha Ocean, formerly known as Daewoo Shipbuilding and Marine Engineering, at its Okpo Shipyard in Geoje Island, South Korea, and the fleet is categorised as one of the most environmentally efficient VLCCs in operation today.
ADNOC L&S’ emissions-reducing fleet
This is mainly due to its LNG dual-fuel engine that is designed to run on the lower emitting transitional fuel Liquified Natural Gas (LNG). ADNOC L&S has committed nearly $2 billion to building environmentally-efficient vessels and has successfully reduced the carbon intensity of its owned fleet by more than 20 percent between 2018 and 2022.
VLCC Arzanah, designed for long haul voyages to ship crude to customers worldwide, has a length of 336 meters and a deadweight of 300,000 metric tons, carrying approximately 2 million barrels of crude per voyage.
