        美国能源企业Cheniere Energy全资子公司Cheniere Marketing International已宣布行使选择权，增加向挪威船东Ocean Yield和日本航运巨头Nippon Yusen Kabushiki Kaisha（NYK Line）租用的新造液化天然气（LNG）运输船数量。

 

        2025年12月，Ocean Yield与NYK Line宣布达成协议，共同投资建造四艘LNG运输船。这些船舶将由韩国HD现代重工建造，预计于2028年起交付。双方当时指出，备选的租约选项可能使新造船数量翻倍至八艘。

 

        Cheniere Marketing International上月与两家合作伙伴签署了这些新船的长期租约。租船方于今日（2月27日）宣布行使选择权，以基本相同的条款增加租用船舶数量。

 

        这批可选船舶也将在韩国建造，预计于2029年交付。该投资交易的完成需满足某些常规条件。

 

        这些船舶将配备下一代X-DF2.1智能控制废气再循环系统（iCER）、可变压缩比（VCR）系统、可使用燃油和蒸发气的双燃料低速柴油机作为主机（蒸发气是航行过程中货舱内气化的LNG），以及可有效利用多余蒸发气的再液化系统。

 

        船舶将采用采用先进绝缘材料的20万立方米膜式液货舱，以实现卓越能效和经济高效的LNG运输。这将是NYK首次与Cheniere签订长期期租合同出租LNG运输船。

 

        船舶总长约294.8米，型宽约48.9米，配备WinGD低压双燃料主机，并搭载iCER技术。该技术据称可减少高达50%的甲烷排放，并在燃气模式下降低高达约3%的燃料消耗，在柴油模式下降低高达约5%的燃料消耗。

Cheniere Marketing International, a wholly owned subsidiary of the U.S. energy player Cheniere Energy, has declared the option to increase the number of newbuild liquefied natural gas (LNG) carriers it will charter from Norwegian shipowner Ocean Yield and Japan’s shipping giant Nippon Yusen Kabushiki Kaisha (NYK Line).

 

In December 2025, Ocean Yield and NYK Line announced their agreement to co-invest in four LNG vessels, to be constructed at HD Hyundai Heavy Industries in South Korea and delivered from 2028, noting that available charter options could double the newbuilding fleet to eight units.

 

Cheniere Marketing International last month signed off on long-term charter deals for the new vessels with the two partners. The charterer today, February 27, declared the option to increase the number of vessels at substantially similar terms.

 

The optional vessels will also be constructed in Korea, with deliveries in 2029.

 

Closing of the investment is subject to certain customary conditions.

 

The vessels will be equipped with a next-generation X-DF2.1 intelligent control by exhaust recycling (iCER), variable compression ratio (VCR) system, dual-fuel, low-speed diesel engine that uses fuel oil and boil-off gas, which is LNG vaporized in the cargo tanks during navigation, for the main engine, and a re-liquefaction system that can use surplus boil-off gas effectively.

 

They will have a 200,000 cubic meter capacity membrane-type tank that uses advanced insulating materials to realize superior efficiency and economical LNG transportation. These will be the first LNG carriers NYK has chartered under a long-term time charter contract with Cheniere.

 

With a length overall of about 294.8 meters, a breadth of around 48.9 meters, the vessels will sport WinGD’s low-pressure, dual-fuel main engine equipped with the iCER technology that is said to have the potential to reduce methane emissions by up to 50% and fuel consumption by up to about 3% in gas mode and about 5% in diesel mode.
