据世界天然气网站8月13日消息 韩国赛劲重工公司与现代尾浦造船厂签订了一份合同，为中型液化天然气运输船提供LNG储罐。

赛劲重工表示，储罐供应合同签订至8月12日，这标志着该公司进入液化天然气供应市场。

这笔交易包括向挪威船东克努森订购的30000立方米液化天然气运输船提供LNG储罐和甲板室，以供现代尾浦造船厂使用。

液化天然气储罐为镍基Bilobe型，是韩国建造的最大的液化天然气运输船独立储罐。

这三个10000立方米的储罐将用一项新技术建造，其中包括现代重工焊接实验室开发的特殊焊条。

公司将在完成所有制造程序（包括焊接程序规范）后于2019年10月开始施工。

该公司补充称，除了液化天然气储罐外，赛劲重工还计划扩大业务范围，将液化天然气再气化设施的制造模块包括在内，并专门从事液化天然气设施的制造。

赛劲重工表示：“随着最近在卡塔尔、巴布亚新几内亚和俄罗斯等地区大规模液化天然气生产项目上的投资飙升，预计将订购约100艘大型液化天然气运输船。随着液化天然气供需的增加，中小型液化天然气运输船的需求也将进一步扩大。”

根据克拉克森公司的数据，过去五年中，中小型液化天然气运输船市场的订单平均每年仅为5个，但预计未来十年将大幅增长。

值得注意的是，赛劲重工正在与液化天然气货物和燃料箱供应市场的多个船主和船厂进行协商。

Sejin Heavy to supply LNG tanks for mid-size carrier

Korea-based Sejin Heavy Industries has signed a contract with Hyundai Mipo Dockyard to supply LNG cargo tanks for a mid-size LNG carrier.

Sejin said that the contract for the supply of the cargo tanks was signed until August 12. It marks the entry of the company to the LNG supply market.

The deal includes LNG tanks and deckhouse to be supplied to the 30,000-cbm LNG carrier ordered by Norwegian shipowner Knutsen to Hyundai Mipo Dockyard

The LNG tank is of the nickel-based Bilobe type and is the largest independent tank for LNG carriers to be built in Korea.

The three 10,000-cbm tanks will be built with a new technology that includes special welding rods developed by Hyundai Heavy Industries’s welding lab.

The company will begin construction around October 2019 after completing all fabrication procedures, including welding procedure specifications.

The company added that, in addition to LNG tanks, Sejin was planning to expand its business to include manufacturing modules for LNG regasification facilities and to specialize in manufacturing LNG facilities.

“With recent soaring investments in large-scale LNG production projects in the areas of Qatar, Papua New Guinea, and Russia, it is expected that orders for around 100 large LNG carriers will be placed, and that markets for small and medium LNG carriers for LNG bunkering will also be greatly expanded as supply and demand of LNG increases,” Sejin stated.

According to Clarksons, orders placed in the small and mid-sized LNG carriers market has been at an annual average of only five over the past five years but is expected to grow significantly over the next decade.

Is worth noting that Sejin is under discussion with multiple ship owners and shipyards in the LNG cargo and fuel tank supply market.
