On 2 Jun 2026, Jiangnan Shipyard and CSSC Trading signed a contract with COSCO SHIPPING LNG Investment (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. to build four 175,000-cbm LNG carriers. These vessels will be chartered to Shell, a global energy company. The carriers feature Jiangnan Shipyard’s
new-generation twin-skeg hull design, enhancing hydrodynamic performance. They are equipped with WinGD XDF 2.2 main engines running mainly on LNG, integrated with iCER & VCR technologies, low methane slip generators, optimized shaft generators, and reliquefaction systems. These advanced features reduce gas and fuel consumption while significantly lowering carbon emissions and methane slip. This project represents Jiangnan’s intelligent and flexible LNG shipping solution, promising operational cost savings for the shipowner and supporting the stability and efficiency of the global clean energy supply chain.
