GTT訂購5艘Arc7型液化天然氣運輸船

據(jù)7月6日Offshore Energy報道，法國GTT公司與俄羅斯Zvezda船廠簽訂一份訂單，訂購五艘ARC7型破冰液化天然氣運輸船。

GTT表示，這些17.26萬立方米煤油船將能夠在冰雪覆蓋的水域航行，并將為諾瓦泰克在北極的項目服務(wù)。這些船只的交付時間定于2023年第一季度和第四季度之間。該訂單的船東是Sovcomflot，該公司去年與諾瓦泰克成立了一家航運公司，專注于開發(fā)北極液化天然氣運輸船。

2019年早些時候，這家俄羅斯航運巨頭還為諾瓦泰克北極LNG 2項目訂購了一艘試用液化天然氣船。所有這些船都將服務(wù)于諾瓦泰克的北極液化天然氣2號項目，以及亞馬爾液化天然氣和其他計劃中的項目。位于吉丹半島的北極2號項目包括建造3條液化天然氣生產(chǎn)線。

這些生產(chǎn)線將采用基于重力的結(jié)構(gòu)平臺，每條生產(chǎn)線產(chǎn)能達660萬噸/年。

諾瓦泰克最近表示，該項目大約完成了19%，第一個GBS平臺的混凝土澆筑大約完成了37%。

這家俄羅斯公司預(yù)計將在2023年推出首條液化天然氣生產(chǎn)線，隨后將分別在2024年和2026年推出第二條和第三條生產(chǎn)線。

GTT nets Zvezda order for five Arc7 LNG carriers

France’s GTT has won an order from Russia’s Zvezda shipyard for the tank design of five ARC7 ice-breaking LNG carriers.

These 172,600-cbm vessels will be able to navigate in ice-covered waters and will serve Novatek’s projects in the Arctic, GTT said.

GTT added that delivery of the vessels is scheduled between the first and the fourth quarter of 2023.

The shipowner behind the order is Sovcomflot that formed a shipping venture with Novatek last year to focus on Arctic LNG carriers.

The Russian shipping giant also ordered a pilot LNG carrier for Novatek’s Arctic LNG 2 project at Zvezda earlier in 2019.

All of these vessels will serve Novatek’s Arctic LNG 2 project, but also Yamal LNG and other planned projects.

The Arctic 2 project located on the Gydan peninsula includes the construction of three LNG trains.

The trains will have a capacity of 6.6 mtpa, each, using gravity-based structure platforms.

Novatek recently said that the project is about 19 per cent complete, with concrete casting of the first GBS platform about 37 per cent complete.

The Russian company expects to launch the first LNG train in 2023, with trains 2 and 3 to follow in 2024 and 2026, respectively.
