Knutsen receives second LNG carrier for QatarEnergy charter, eight more to follow

Norwegian shipping company Knutsen has taken delivery of a liquefied natural gas (LNG) carrier that will be chartered to QatarEnergy.

Based on a social media post by Knutsen Group, the new 174,000-cubic-meter LNG carrier delivered on July 29 is named Mesaieed. It is the second in a series of ten vessels the company will charter to QatarEnergy as part of the latter’s historic 128-vessel fleet expansion project.

South Korea’s HD Hyundai delivered the first vessel from the series, named Mraikh, a month ago. According to Knutsen, the unit is equipped with the latest energy efficiency measures, including an air lubrication system and LNG-compatible boilers.

Other players will also contribute to QatarEnergy’s fleet expansion. One of them, China LNG Shipping (Holdings) Limited, recently held a naming ceremony for Al Mas’habiyyah, an LNG carrier forming part of its three-vessel deal with the Qatari giant.
