Nakilat takes delivery of new LNGC
Qatari shipping company Nakilat has taken delivery of a newbuild LNG carrier Global Sea Spirit, it said on October 26 in a statement.
Built by South Korea’s Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering, this is the third of four LNG newbuild carriers to be delivered to Global Shipping Co, a joint venture between Nakilat and Maran Ventures. The first two carriers were delivered in May 2020 and January 2021 respectively and are currently in service. Global Sea Spirit will be commercially and technically managed in-house by Nakilat Shipping Qatar.
