ABU DHABI, 20th June, 2023 (WAM) -- ADNOC Logistics and Services plc on Tuesday announced that it has taken delivery of a newbuild Very Large Crude Carrier (VLCC), Hafeet.

The vessel is the first of four dual-fuel engine VLCCs, which can also run on Liquified Natural Gas (LNG), that will be delivered this year to support the company’s smart growth strategy. ADNOC L&S has committed approximately $2 billion to build more environmentally efficient vessels and has reduced the carbon intensity of its owned fleet by more than 20% since 2018.

Captain Abdulkareem Al Masabi, CEO of ADNOC L&S, said, “The addition of Hafeet, the first of four newbuild VLCCs to our expanding ADNOC L&S fleet, will increase our energy transportation capacity in line with our ambitious growth strategy. Our strategic investment in new, environmentally efficient vessels reinforces our commitment to more sustainable shipping and to decreasing the carbon intensity of our operations. We continue to work towards meeting the International Maritime Organisation’s decarbonistion targets of halving annual greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from international shipping by 2050.”
