Oil & Gas
BONNY Gas Transport Limited (BGT), a subsidiary of Nigeria LNG Limited (NLNG), has awarded contracts for the construction of three (3) newbuild LNG vessels to Hudong-Zhongua Shipbuilding (Group) Co. Limited and China Shipbuilding Trading Co. Limited.
The vessels are part of BGT’s fleet renewal and replacement plan programme. Each vessel will have a cargo capacity of 174,000 cubic metres and will be fitted with advanced X-DF propulsion technology. This technology improves fuel efficiency and reduces emissions compared to older vessel designs.
The vessels are expected to be delivered in 2029. They will be chartered by NLNG and managed by NLNG Shipping and Marine Services Limited (NSML), an integrated maritime services company with a strong reputation for providing top-notch maritime services.
This is an important milestone in BGT’s plan to modernise its fleet and support cleaner, more efficient and future-ready operations. The vessels will meet global and EU emissions regulations and help NLNG maintain its OGMP 2.0 Level 5 rating.
The new vessels will further strengthen NLNG’s ability to deliver cleaner energy to the world and support the company’s commitment to sustainability and operational excellence.
