ADNOC L&S takes delivery of third very large crude carrier

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 new-build 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 the lower emitting transitional fuel liquefied natural gas (LNG). ADNOC L&S has committed approximately $2 billion to building environmentally efficient vessels and has successfully reduced the carbon intensity of its owned fleet by more than 20 per cent between 2018 and 2022.
