DOHA, Qatar – DSME has delivered the LNG carrier Global Sealine to Nakilat.

This is the final LNG newbuild carrier to be delivered to Global Shipping Co. Ltd., a joint venture between Nakilat (60%) and Maran Ventures Inc. (40%). Three of its sister vessels were delivered between 2020 and 2021 and are all under time charters.

The Global Sealine will be commercially and technically managed in-house by Nakilat Shipping Qatar Ltd (NSQL).

With a cargo carrying capacity of 174,000 cubic meters, the Global Sealine is the second vessel with X-DF propulsion system to join the Nakilat fleet and is chartered to Cheniere Marketing International LLP.

Nakilat CEO Eng. Abdullah Al Sulaiti said: “The vessel features significantly lower gas boil-off rate, is equipped with onboard reliquefication units, and complies with all mandatory international and national regulations pertaining to environmental protection.”

The company now has 74 vessels, which is said to be about 12% of the current global LNG fleet based on carrying capacity. NSQL manages and operates 25 LNG carriers, four LPG carriers, and one FSRU vessel.
