Jiangnan gets OK for LNG carrier with type B tanks

China’s Jiangnan Shipyard has received approvals from classification societies ABS and BV for a 175,000-cbm liquefied natural gas (LNG) carrier equipped with "brilliance II" type B LNG tanks.

CSSC’s Jiangnan received the AiPs for its new LNG tank on Tuesday during the Gastech exhibition and conference, currently being held in Milan, Italy.

In addition, Jinangan received AIPs for the “brilliance II” type B LNG tank applied on FLNG from ABS and BV.

Jiangnan also received approval from ABS for sloshing performance enhancement of the “brilliance II” type B LNG tank from ABS, as well as approval from DNV and LR for a battery hybrid power solution for a large LNG carrier.

Jiangan is currently building six 175,000-cbm LNG carriers for UAE’s Adnoc L&S, a unit of state-owned energy giant Adnoc

Last month, Adnoc L&S took delivery of the third vessel in this batch.

These “LNG Jumbo” dual-fuel carriers feature GTT’s Mark III Flex membrane system, WinGD engines, and a partial reliquefaction system.

Jiangan is also building two LNG carriers for Shandong Marine.

These vessels also feature the same tech as the Adnoc L&S vessels.
