On May 8, Shandong Marine Energy’s second 175,000 m³ LNG carrier (H2717) was kicked off construction at Jiangnan Shipyard.
The vessel is a large-scale LNG newbuilding project signed by Shandong Marine Energy and China Petrochemical Corporation in 2023. The vessel is equipped with an advanced dual-fuel propulsion system, which is safe, stable, green, low-carbon, economical and efficient. Its comprehensive performance indicators are benchmarked against the international top level and meet the latest international specifications and industry standards.
The construction of this vessel marks the full start of Shandong Ocean Energy’s first LNG new shipbuilding project, pressing the “accelerator” for the company’s large-scale operation of its LNG transport fleet.
