On April 10, Hudong-Zhonghua Shipbuilding and China Shipbuilding Trading officially signed a contract for the construction of four 174,000 m3 LNG carriers with Japan's MOL.
Earlier, MOL had signed a batch of chartering contracts for the four LNG carriers with Qatar Energy.
This marks the official launch of the first batch of LNG ship projects of "Qatar Hundred Ships Construction Plan", which has attracted much attention from the global shipbuilding industry.
The first batch of construction orders settled in China, enabling Hudong-Zhonghua to take the lead in the competition with international players. It also marks that "Made in China" and CSSC brands have won the world's approval again, and will surely usher in a new era of China's LNG ship construction projects.
