The vessels comprise seven LNG carriers — Al Ghuwair, Al Jazi, Al Mirzam, Maqdeem, Al Nasraniya, Energy Vigour, and Energy Voyager — alongside two LPG/ammonia carriers, Energy South and Energy East.     Five of the seven LNG carriers form part of Nakilat's broader program to build 25 conventional-size LNG carriers at HD Hyundai Heavy Industries and Hanwha Ocean. These vessels will be fully owned and operated by Nakilat and chartered to QatarEnergy affiliates under long-term agreements. The remaining two LNG carriers and two LPG/ammonia carriers belong to a separate six-vessel newbuild program at HD Hyundai Samho.       Eng. Abdullah Al Sulaiti, Chief Executive Officer of Nakilat, said the naming ceremony reflected tangible progress in the company's long-term investment plans and its partnership with QatarEnergy, supporting the requirements of the North Field expansion projects. He said the fleet diversification into LPG/ammonia carriers would strengthen Nakilat's ability to meet evolving customer needs while reinforcing Qatar's position as a leading LNG producer and exporter.    

Al Sulaiti thanked the shipyards and project teams for their commitment to safety, quality, and operational excellence throughout the newbuild programs. The LNG carriers are designed for efficient, reliable transport of LNG from Qatar to global markets, while the two LPG/ammonia carriers will broaden Nakilat's service offering.
