    On August 5, the first large-scale LNG carrier of CNOOC's medium- and long-term FOB (offshore delivery) resource supporting LNG (liquefied natural gas) transportation project started construction in Shanghai
    .

    The newly built ship adopts China's fifth-generation 174,000-square-meter new ship, with a total length of 299 meters, a width of 46.
    4 meters, a depth of 26.
    25 meters, and a speed of 19.
    5 knots.
    It is expected to be completed and delivered by the end of October 2024

    .
    This type of ship optimizes the hull linearity, adopts the world's most advanced main engine system and the latest cargo tank technology, and can achieve a significant reduction in ship fuel consumption

    .
    The newly built ships are equipped with a number of low-carbon energy-saving technologies, which can achieve carbon emission reduction of 50%, which is far higher than the 30% requirement of the International Maritime Organization (IMO).
    It has the advantages of strong versatility, and has obtained the "green ship" certificate certified by the classification society

    .

    In the first half of this year, CNOOC took the lead in signing the medium and long-term FOB resource supporting LNG carrier project by means of "cloud signing".
    It plans to build 12 LNG carriers with a construction amount of about 16 billion yuan.
    It is the largest and most invested LNG carrier in China.
    Shipbuilding project

    .
    FOB is one of the international trade modes of LNG.
    In this mode, the buyer can transport LNG cargo independently

    .
    Controlling the independent transportation capacity means extending the control scope of the LNG supply chain and the initiative of trade for the buyer, and at the same time, it can better ensure the flexible scheduling of resources.
    In the face of sudden emergencies, the imported energy strategy can be adjusted in time.
    Ensure the safety of energy supply and realize the safe, reliable and continuous operation of the LNG industry chain

    .
    After the delivery of this batch of LNG carriers, they will be invested in CNOOC's medium and long-term FOB resource transportation business.
    Through scheduling and optimization of ship transportation, the allocation of resources will be realized, the flexibility of international trade will be increased, and energy imports will be adjusted in time according to changes in domestic energy demand.
    The strategy is of great significance to building CNOOC's own LNG carrier fleet and effectively enhancing the independent and controllable capability of China's LNG transportation industry chain.
    A "sharp weapon" for energy security

    .
    The newly built LNG carrier has a maximum loading capacity of 174,000 cubic meters, and after vaporization, it will reach 108 million cubic meters of natural gas, which can be used by residents of Beijing for about 16 days

    .

    Since 2010, CNOOC has consciously assumed the responsibility of a central energy enterprise, entered the LNG transportation industry, and is committed to promoting the overall development of China's LNG industry chain
    .
    Up to now, a total of 10 domestic large-scale LNG carriers have been built, with a 30,000-cubic-meter LNG carrier and a 12,000-cubic-meter LNG transport and bunkering vessel under construction

    .
    After years of development, it has the ability to provide LNG integrated services, and has become one of the leading companies in the domestic LNG transportation field.
    In 2021, LNG imports will account for 43% of the country's total, making it the largest LNG importer in China and the second largest in the world
