        日本航运巨头川崎汽船（K Line）证实，一艘新建液化天然气（LNG）运输船已举行命名仪式。该船将服务于由LNG Canada运营的、位于加拿大不列颠哥伦比亚省基蒂马特的液化天然气出口终端。LNG Canada是由壳牌、马来西亚国家石油公司、中国石油天然气集团公司、韩国天然气公司和日本三菱共同出资成立的合资企业。

 

        关于这艘17.4万立方米薄膜型液化天然气运输船的命名仪式详情，据川崎汽船披露，该船于2026年5月19日在三星重工被命名为"Diamond Gas Jade"号，船东为三菱商事株式会社旗下子公司Diamond Global Energy。

 

        该船隶属于一家合资公司，预计将服务于三菱商事株式会社参与的LNG Canada项目。该船的命名仪式由Diamond Global Energy首席执行官和田哲郎与川崎汽船董事会主席兼董事明珍幸一共同出席。

 

        该船由和田哲郎命名。由于玉（Jade）是LNG Canada项目所在地不列颠哥伦比亚省著名的特产，且玉在传统文化中象征着长久的繁荣，因此以此命名，以表达各方对公司项目持续成功与繁荣的期望。

 

        Diamond Global Energy与川崎汽船之间的租约据称是该新建液化天然气运输船的首份长期租船合同。在全球能源需求持续增长的背景下，该船有望通过提供安全高效的海上液化天然气运输服务，在支撑全球能源供应链方面发挥重要作用。

 

        川崎汽船在2022年5月发布的中期管理计划中，将液化天然气业务定位为未来投资的首要优先领域。该公司表示，将继续响应客户的多样化需求，扩大长期合同，以应对日益增长的能源需求。

LNG Canada-bound vessel gets its name at Samsung Heavy Industries’ yard

 

Japanese shipping major Kawasaki Kisen Kaisha (K Line) has confirmed the naming ceremony for a newly built liquefied natural gas (LNG) vessel, which is destined for an LNG export terminal in Kitimat, British Columbia, Canada, operated by LNG Canada, a joint venture company encompassing Shell, Petronas, PetroChina, KOGAS, and Mitsubishi.

 

K Line, which disclosed a naming ceremony for a 174,000 cubic meter (cbm) membrane-type LNG vessel, explained the ship was named Diamond Gas Jade at Samsung Heavy Industries for Mitsubishi Corporation’s subsidiary, Diamond Global Energy, on May 19, 2026.

 

The vessel is owned by a joint venture company and is scheduled to be used at the LNG Canada project in which Mitsubishi Corporation participates. The naming ceremony was attended by Tetsuro Wada, Chief Executive Officer of Diamond Global Energy, and Yukikazu Myochin, Director and Chairperson of K Line’s board.

 

The LNG carrier, which was named by Wada, got its name due to jade being a renowned specialty of British Columbia, where the LNG Canada project is located. In addition, jade is traditionally associated with long-lasting prosperity; thus, the vessel was named to express the companies’ hopes for the project’s enduring success and prosperity.

 

The charter party between DGE and K Line is said to represent the first long-term charter contract for a newly built LNG vessel, which is expected to play an important role in supporting the global energy supply chain through the safe and efficient seaborne transportation of LNG amid the continued increase in global energy demand.

 

The Japanese player positioned the LNG business as a top priority area in future investments in its medium-term management plan published in May 2022. K Line claims that it will continue to respond to the diverse needs of its customers to expand its long-term contracts and accommodate the growing energy demand.
