Wartsila said on Wednesday that the lifecycle agreement covers two LNG carriers, each with four Wartsila 34DF engines, and is aimed at giving Alpha Gas increased operational insight, availability, and better maintenance cost predictability.
The Finnish firm said it booked the order in the second quarter of 2025, but it did not provide the contract price.
Wartsila signed a similar agreement with Alpha Gas in November 2024 covering two more LNG carriers.
The four Alpha Gas sister vessels now covered by the Wartsila lifecycle agreement are Energy Pacific, Energy Endeavour, Energy Integrity, and Energy Intelligence.
Alpha Gas welcomed the 174,300-cbm Energy Intelligence into its fleet in June 2021.
This LNG carrier and its sister vessel Energy Integrity are on charter to a unit of SEFE, previously known as Gazprom Germania and now controlled by the German government.
In addition to these vessels, Alpha Gas took delivery of Energy Endeavour in 2021, Energy Pacific in 2020, and Energy Atlantic in 2015.
Last year, South Korea’s HD Hyundai Samho Heavy Industries delivered the 174,000-cbm LNG carrier, Energy Fortitude, to Alpha Gas.
With this, Alpha Gas took delivery of all three XDF LNG carriers from HSHI during 2023-2024.
Alpha Gas now has eight LNG carriers in its fleet.
Besides LNG carriers, Alpha Gas has four VLGC/VLAC carriers on order in South Korea and scheduled for delivery in 2026 and 2027.
