Nakilat and Shell International Trading and Shipping Company Limited (Shell) have signed an agreement to begin the planned phased transition of the management of Nakilat’s LNG fleet.
Nakilat Shipping Qatar Limited (NSQL), a wholly owned subsidiary of Nakilat, has carried out preparations and planning for the management of these assets to Qatar’s gas supply chain, which plays a major role in the national economic growth in alignment with the National Vision 2030
Grahaeme Henderson, vice president of Shell Shipping & Maritime, said, “We are proud to be a partner with Nakilat and to continue to support Qatar’s vision of building a world-class shipping business.”
The 25 vessels have so far delivered over 320mn cubic meters of Qatar’s LNG to over 20 countries and have travelled 17mn nautical miles- the equivalent of over 780 trips around the equator’s circumference.
