据世界天然气7月29日消息称，波兰石油和天然气公司 PGNiG 的子公司 PGNiG供应贸易公司(PST) 已与挪威航运公司 Knutsen OAS Shipping签署了一项协议，租用两艘液化天然气(LNG)运输船。
据了解，PST 将是他们 10 年的唯一用户，并可选择延长。
此外，据该公司称，这些船只将专门为 PGNiG 集团建造，并将于 2024 年上半年投入使用。
PGNiG首席执行官Paweł Majewski说道：“我们一直在发展PGNiG在国际液化天然气市场的地位。租船是我们在这一领域实施计划的重要一步。”
PGNiG集团已经在2020年与Knutsen OAS Shipping签订了首批两艘液化天然气运输船合同。
两份合同均规定，船东将负责船舶的交付、配员和维护。PST 将完全控制商业运营。
PST租用的4艘液化天然气运输船的容量均为17.4万立方米，可装载约7万吨液化天然气。
该公司称，这意味着每艘油轮在再气化后将能够运输相当于约 1 亿立方米的燃料。

PGNiG inks LNG charter deal with Knutsen
PGNiG Supply & Trading (PST), a subsidiary of Poland’s oil and gas company PGNiG, has signed an agreement with Norway’s shipping company Knutsen OAS Shipping for chartering of two liquified natural gas (LNG) carriers.
As informed, PST will be their sole user for 10 years, with an option of extension.
Moreover, the vessels will be built exclusively for the PGNiG Group and will enter service in the first half of 2024, according to the company.
“We are consistently developing PGNiG’s position on the international LNG market. Chartering of the tankers is an important step to implement our plans in this area,” said Paweł Majewski, PGNiG CEO.
The PGNiG Group has already contracted its first two LNG carriers in 2020, also with Knutsen OAS Shipping.
Both contracts stipulate that the shipowner will be responsible for the delivery, manning and maintenance of the vessels. PST will be in full control of the commercial operations.
All four LNG tankers chartered by PST will be vessels with a capacity of 174 thousand cubic meters, which gives the possibility of loading about 70 thousand tons of liquefied natural gas.
This means that each tanker will be able to transport a fuel load equivalent to about 100 million cubic meters after regasification, the company claims.
