Petronas has ordered LNG carriers for big LNG project

The Malaysian state oil company Petronas has signed charter agreements for three new LNG carriers with South Korean shipowner Hyundai LNG Shipping. The ships will be used in a Canadian 14 million tones LNG project. Petronas is expected to receive the ships starting from the second quarter of 2024. Hyundai LNG Shipping has announced that it has already ordered them from the South Korean manufacturer Hyundai Heavy Industries. In 2018, Petronas made a final investment decision on the Canada LNG project, located in the Pacific coast of British Columbia. The project, designed for the export of Canadian LNG to Asian markets, is expected to enter service in 2024.
