大韩造船和DNV GL携手开发小型LPG运输船

据世界天然气9月1日消息称，韩国大韩造船公司已与船级社DNV GL签订了一项联合开发项目，开发小型液化石油气运输船。

由于排放法规的收紧和页岩气的繁荣，预计液化石油气和液化天然气运输船的需求将会增加。运费的上涨也刺激了液化石油气运输船订单的增长。

为了顺应这一行业趋势，抓住机遇，大韩造船已决定使其船型航线多样化，并开始开发液化石油气船。

DHSC总裁兼首席执行官Seong Jeong说：“DHSC已经确立了其作为一个可靠的造船商的地位，有能力建造除天然气运输船以外的不同类型的船。随着行业的瞬息万变，我我们现正发展石油气运输船，以加强竞争力，并向船东展示我们的技术实力。”

DNV GL将根据相关规则和规章对船舶的基本和详细设计进行审查，并提供技术意见和建议，以帮助加强设计发展。

Daehan Shipbuilding, DNV GL join forces on developing small-scale LPG carriers

Korea’s Daehan Shipbuilding has entered into a joint development project with classification society DNV GL to develop small-size LPG carriers.

Due to tightened emission regulations and a shale gas boom, the demand for LPG and LNG carriers is expected to increase. A hike in freight rates also stimulates the growth in LPG carrier orders.

To keep pace with this industrial trend and seize opportunities, Daehan Shipbuilding has decided to diversify its ship type lines and start to develop LPG carriers.

“DHSC already established its position as a reliable shipbuilder with the capability to build different ship types other than gas carriers. As the industry is changing rapidly, we are now strengthening our competitiveness by developing LPG carriers and show our technological competence to ship owners,” said Seong Jeong, DHSC President & CEO.

DNV GL will review the basic and detailed designs for the vessels in accordance with the relevant rules and regulations and provide technical advice and recommendations to help enhance the design development.
