Adnoc L&S fleet: Adnoc Logistics & Services (Adnoc L&S), the shipping and maritime logistics arm of Adnoc, announced today the deployment of five new-build Very Large Gas Carriers (VLGC).
The gas carriers were built at Jiangnan Shipyard in Shanghai, China, and will be owned and operated by AW Shipping, an Adnoc L&S joint venture with Wanhua Chemical Group (Wanhua).
As natural gas plays a critical role as a lower carbon-intensity fuel for the energy transition, the VLGCs, which transport liquified petroleum gas (LPG), will provide ADNOC L&S greater flexibility to meet growing global gas demand.
