ADNOC Logistics and Services (ADNOC L&S) on Wednesday (23 August) announced taking delivery of a third newbuild very large crude carrier (VLCC).
The vessel Arzanah is the third of four LNG dual-fuel VLCCs delivered this year.
Two VLCCs were delivered in June and July, while the fourth is set to join the ADNOC L&S fleet in the fourth quarter. These vessels are anticipated to trade on the spot market and are built by Hanwha Ocean, formerly known as Daewoo Shipbuilding and Marine Engineering, at its Okpo Shipyard in Geoje Island, South Korea.
The newbuild VLCC fleet is categorised as one of the most environmentally efficient VLCCs in operation today, thanks to its LNG dual-fuel engine that is designed to run on LNG.
ADNOC L&S has committed approximately USD 2 billion to building environmentally efficient vessels and has successfully reduced the carbon intensity of its owned fleet by more than 20% between 2018 and 2022.
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.
