Wartsila said on Thursday that the agreement with CLCICO is designed to ensure operational reliability, enable flexibility in maintenance scheduling, and optimise the ‘time between overhauls’ for each of the vessels.
The company booked the agreement, which came into effect in August 2025, in the third quarter of this year.
Wartsila did not provide pricing details of the deal.
According to Wartsila, CLSICO aims to achieve optimal cost efficiency and operational reliability for its auxiliary engines.
Through the new lifecycle agreement with, CLSICO will be able to utilise engine data through Wartsila’s expert insight digital solution.
Wartsila said the three LNG vessels that the agreement will cover are Al Tuwar, Al Mas’Habiyyah, and Fat’h Al Khair.
They are approximately 300 meters in length and have a capacity of 174,000 cbm.
All operate with two 8-cylinder and two 6-cylinder Wärtsilä 34DF dual-fuel engines.
Wartsila noted that this new agreement follows the lifecycle agreement signed in 2023 with CLSICO covering Dapeng Princess, which is the world’s largest shallow draft LNG carrier.
In May this year, China’s Hudong-Zhonghua delivered the 174,000-cbm LNG carrier, Al Tuwar.
This is the first of a series of LNG carriers that a joint venture company comprising Japan’s NYK, K Line, Malaysia’s MISC, and China’s CLNG will build for QatarEnergy.
Al Mas’habiyyah and Fat’h Al Khair are the second and third vessels in this series.
