Hengli Heavy Industry bags 11 VLAC orders
The new orders span three mainstream tank
capacity variants: 88,000 cu metres, 90,000 cu metres and 93,000 cu metres.
While the shipbuilder has not fully released all shipowner details for the
package, the contracts were expected to be awarded by prominent international
maritime and energy players. SFL
Corporation, controlled by Norwegian shipping investor John Fredriksen, sealed
a deal for two 93,000 cu meter VLACs to be constructed at Hengli’s yard, with
handover scheduled for Q2 2028.
UK-based shipowner Union Maritime signed two 88,000 cu metre VLAC
newbuildings which are set to enter service in 2029. ADNOC L&S, the shipping subsidiary of
Middle Eastern energy giant ADNOC, also placed an order for three 93,000 cbm
VLGCs, with delivery expected in the second half of 2029.
Greek shipowner Dynacom ordered 4 units
of 90,000 cu metres VLACs for delivery between 2028 and 2029. As a long-term
core partner of Hengli Heavy Industry, Dynacom had already ordered 8 VLACs
before this batch, bringing the total number of VLACs in cooperation between
the two sides to over 12 units.
