据6月8日Offshore Energy报道，韩国大宇造船与海洋工程公司(Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering)获得了一份为俄罗斯液化天然气生产商诺瓦泰克（Novatek）建造液化天然气驳船的订单。
根据协议，DSME将以约9013亿韩圆(7.482亿美元)的价格建造两艘36万立方米液化天然气驳船，并且拥有增建两艘的选择权。
这些浮式液化天然气储存和转运装置将服务于诺瓦泰克在摩尔曼斯克和勘察加半岛的计划项目。诺瓦泰克将与日本三井石油公司(Mitsui O.S.K. Lines)共同开发这些项目。
这些浮式装置将把亚马尔和北极2号项目的货物从破冰液化天然气运输船中转到常规船只。这些中转枢纽将大大降低北极液化天然气运往欧洲和亚洲的运输成本和运输时间。
这家韩国船厂在一份声明中表示，预计将在2022年底前交付这两艘液化天然气驳船。并表示，在市场动荡，多个大型项目延期后，这份订单将为公司带来助力。
随着全球能源需求大幅下滑，油价触及历史低点，船东们减少了订单，韩国造船企业今年的订单大幅下降。
DSME今年获得了价值13.3亿美元的交易，包括这两艘驳船和一个浮式存储和再气化装置。
今年最大的新闻是卡塔尔石油公司(Qatar Petroleum)的一笔大额订单，这家液化天然气巨头已经在包括DSME在内的韩国三大船厂预订了100多艘价值约192亿美元的船只。
这是液化天然气行业历史上最大的一笔造船交易，而到2027年，QP将获得全球液化天然气造船产能的约60%。
由于QP并没有在其公告中透露这一信息，造船商对该订单的具体归属仍有待观察。

DSME scores Novatek LNG order
South Korea’s Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering has won an order to build liquefied natural gas barges for Russian LNG producer Novatek.
Under the deal, Daweoo will build two 360,000-cbm LNG barges for about 901.3 billion won ($748.2 million) with an option for two additional units.
The floating LNG storage and transshipment units will serve Novatek’s planned projects in Murmansk and Kamchatka that the Russian company will develop with Japan’s Mitsui O.S.K. Lines.
The floating units will transship Yamal and Arctic 2 cargoes from ice-breaking LNG carriers to conventional ships.
These transshipment hubs will significantly reduce transportation costs and shipping time of Arctic LNG cargoes going to Europe and Asia.
The Korean shipbuilder said in a statement on Monday that it expects to deliver the two LNG barges by the end of 2022.
Daewoo said that this deal will help the yard in the wake of the Covid-19 coronavirus pandemic which disturbed markets and caused delays for several large-scale projects.
Korean shipbuilders saw a significant decline in their order books this year due to owners holding back on orders as global energy demand nosedived and oil prices hit record lows.
Daewoo bagged $1.33 billion worth of deals this year including these two barges and a floating storage and regasification unit.
The biggest news this year was a huge order by Qatar Petroleum as the LNG giant has booked slots to secure more than 100 vessels worth about $19.2 billion at the Korean three biggest yards including DSME.
This is the largest shipbuilding deal in the history of the LNG industry whereas QP secured about 60 per cent of the global LNG shipbuilding capacity through 2027.
Breakdown of this order by shipbuilder is yet to be seen as QP did not reveal this info in its announcement.
