据9月6日offshore energy消息：现代集团旗下的韩国航运物流企业Hyundai Glovis已与瑞士商品贸易公司托克(Trafigura)达成协议，从2024年开始运输氨和液化天然气(LPG)。
根据协议，双方将斥资2000亿韩元(1.728亿美元)建造两艘用于运输氨和液化石油气的超大型气体运输船。
新船的装载能力预计将达到8.6万立方米，是全球最大的天然气运输船。
此外，船舶将配备液化石油气双燃料发动机和轴发电机，以减少二氧化碳排放。合同期限为10年。
Hyundai Glovis计划通过此次合同，扩大以氢气供应链为中心的业务服务。
“我们将看到构建氢价值链的进程加快。并计划以液化氢为载体，引领全球氢气流通。"
去年，该公司与总部位于奥斯陆的Wilhelmsen集团合作，探索全球天然气航运市场的潜力，并研究液化氢等替代船舶燃料。

Hyundai Glovis signs gas shipping deal with Trafigura
Hyundai Glovis, the logistics arm of South Korea’s Hyundai Group, has entered into an agreement with Switzerland-based commodity trading company Trafigura to ship ammonia and liquefied natural gas (LPG) from 2024.
Under the agreement, two parties will spend KRW200 billion ($172.8 million) to build two very large gas carriers for ammonia and LPG transportation.
The new vessel is expected to reach the largest level among global gas carriers with a loading capacity of 86,000 cbm.
Additionally, the ships will be equipped with LPG dual-fuel engines and shaft generators to reduce carbon dioxide emissions. The duration of the contract is 10 years.
With this new contract, Hyundai Glovis plans to expand its business service focusing also “We will see the process of building a hydrogen value chain gather speed. We plan to carry liquefied hydrogen and take lead in global hydrogen distribution,” according to the company.
Last year, the company teamed up with Oslo-based company Wilhelmsen Group to explore the potential of the global gas shipping market, and research into alternative vessel fuels, such as liquefied hydrogen.
