现代三湖重工交付世界首艘LNG动力超大型集装箱船

据世界石油2020年9月17日首尔报道，韩国造船商现代三湖重工有限公司日前向新加坡东太平洋航运有限公司交付了世界上第一艘用液化天然气（LNG）驱动的超大型集装箱船。

众所周知，航运业一直面临着减少碳排放的压力，今年出台了新的规定，要求减少船用燃料中的硫含量。

这反过来又刺激了油轮运营商和游轮对LNG作为船用燃料的需求。

这艘由LNG驱动、长366米、宽51米、可装载14800个标准集装箱的超大型集装箱船是现代三湖重工有限公司时下正在建造的6艘超大型集装箱船之一。

新加坡东太平洋航运有限公司在2018年4月订购了这6艘超大型集装箱船，这些超大型集装箱船将于2022年第三季度前交付。

现代三湖重工有限公司是韩国造船与海上工程公司旗下的子公司。

Hyundai Samho delivers world's first LNG-powered very large container ship

South Korean shipbuilder Hyundai Samho Heavy Industries Co Ltd has delivered the world’s first very large container ship powered by LNG to Singapore’s Eastern Pacific Shipping Pte Ltd.

The shipping industry has been under pressure to reduce carbon emissions, introducing new rules this year to cut the sulphur content in marine, or bunker, fuels.

This in turn is prompting demand for LNG as a bunker fuel by tanker operators and cruise liners.

The LNG-powered, 14,800 twenty-foot equivalent units (TEUs) container ship is one of six ships which Hyundai Samho is building.

They were ordered by the shipping company in April 2018 and will be delivered by the third quarter of 2022.

Hyundai Samho is a unit of Korea Shipbuilding & Offshore Engineering Co.
