中国石化新闻网讯 据离岸工程网2月27日报道，德国大型航运公司赫伯罗特(Hapag-Lloyd)与壳牌西部LNG B.V (Shell)签署了一项多年液化天然气(LNG)供应协议。
LNG将用于赫伯罗特目前正在韩国造船厂大宇造船和海洋工程(DSME)建造的12艘超大型双燃料集装箱船。
这12艘超23500标准集装箱（TEU）的船舶的加油工作预计将于2023年下半年开始，液化天然气将在鹿特丹港供应。
这些船只将部署在欧洲—远东航线上，并停靠鹿特丹、汉堡、新加坡和上海等主要港口。
赫伯罗特表示，与传统燃料相比，使用液化天然气将能够将这些船舶的二氧化碳强度降低23%，几乎完全没有颗粒排放。该公司的目标是到2045年实现净零碳排放。
壳牌正在投资一系列旨在使航运脱碳的燃料、技术和解决方案，包括液化天然气。壳牌表示，通过在全球10个国家的15个液化天然气加注站的广泛网络，壳牌已为其海运客户进行了1000多次船对船加注作业。
除了液化天然气供应协议，壳牌和赫伯罗特还签署了一项战略合作协议，旨在加速替代船用燃料的进一步脱碳。最初的重点将是开发其他低碳燃料解决方案的潜力，包括液化生物甲烷和氢基燃料液化e-甲烷。液化生物甲烷作为一种船用燃料，有可能将温室气体排放量减少65%至100%。
“航运脱碳必须加快，作为目前可大规模使用的最低碳燃料，液化天然气是向低碳海洋燃料过渡的关键部分。展望未来，我们致力于与赫伯罗特等领先的航运公司合作，建立实现净零的可靠途径。”壳牌下游液化天然气主管总经理Tahir Faruqui表示。
“赫伯罗特已经与壳牌公司敲定了一份合同，以具有竞争力的条款确保灵活的液化天然气供应。此外，我们很高兴与壳牌达成协议，探索进一步的脱碳机会，因为这允许两家企业推动行业发生有影响力的变化。”赫伯罗特全球燃料采购高级总监Jan Christensen说。
“这样的合作对于帮助我们实现可持续发展战略至关重要，同时还可以改善海运的排放。最终，这也能帮助我们的客户减少碳足迹。”
DSME已经推出了该系列的第一艘巨型船舶——波罗的海快车号。赫伯罗特发言人告诉海洋能源公司，这艘双燃料LNG动力船将于2023年第二季度末交付。
这艘船和它的五艘姊妹船一样，将由曼恩能源系统公司的ME-GI发动机提供动力。（TEU是Twenty-feet Equivalent Unit的缩写。是以长度为20英尺的集装箱为国际计量单位，也称国际标准箱单位。）

Shell to provide LNG for Hapag-Lloyd’s 23,500+ TEU newbuilds
German liner major Hapag-Lloyd has signed a multi-year agreement for the supply of liquefied natural gas (LNG) with Shell Western LNG B.V (Shell).
The LNG is intended for Hapag-Lloyd’s twelve ultra-large dual-fuel container vessels currently under construction at the South Korean shipyard Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering (DSME).
Bunkering for these twelve 23,500+ TEU vessels is expected to commence during the second half of 2023 and LNG will be supplied in the Port of Rotterdam.
The ships will be deployed>Hapag-Lloyd said that by using LNG it will be able to cut the CO2 intensity of these vessels by up to 23% compared to conventional fuels and almost completely reduce particle emissions. The company aims become net zero carbon by 2045.
Shell is investing in a range of fuels, technologies and solutions that aim to decarbonise shipping, including LNG. Through an extensive network of 15 LNG bunkering locations in 10 countries globally, Shell has carried out over 1,000 ship-to-ship bunkering operations to its marine customers, the company said.
In addition to the LNG supply agreement, Shell and Hapag-Lloyd have entered into a strategic collaboration agreement intended to accelerate the further decarbonisation of alternative marine fuels. Initial focus will be given to developing the potential of additional low carbon fuels solutions including liquefied biomethane and the hydrogen-based fuel liquefied e-methane. Liquefied biomethane as a marine fuel has the potential to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by between 65% and 100%.
“Shipping decarbonisation must accelerate and, as the lowest-carbon fuel available at scale today, LNG is a key part of the transition to lower-carbon marine fuels. As we look to the future, we are committed to working with leading shipping companies like Hapag-Lloyd to establish the credible pathways to net zero,” Tahir Faruqui, General Manager, Head of Downstream LNG at Shell, said.
“Hapag-Lloyd has finalised a contract with Shell which secures flexible LNG supply at competitive terms. Furthermore, we are excited about our agreement with Shell to explore further decarbonisation opportunities as it allows both businesses to drive impactful change in the industry,” Jan Christensen, Senior Director Global Fuel Purchasing at Hapag-Lloyd.
“Collaborations like this are crucial in helping us deliver our sustainability strategy while also improving emissions in maritime shipping. Ultimately, this enables our customers to decrease their carbon footprint as well.”
DSME has already launched the first giant vessel from the series, the Baltic Express. A Hapag-Lloyd Spokesperson told Offshore Energy that the dual-fuel LNG-powred ship would be delivered at the end of the second quarter of 2023.
The ship, like its five sister vessels, will be powered by MAN Energy System’s ME-GI engines.
