近日，韩国三星重工（SHI）获得2艘超大型液化气体运输船（VLGC）建造订单，总价值约1.9亿美元（2707亿韩元），计划于2025年底交付。截止目前，三星重工已接获339艘新船订单，价值74亿美元，正在按计划完成其88亿美元的年度订单目标。在航运业日益严格的环保法规推动下，三星重工在船舶设计领域积极探索，研发替代燃料动力船舶，如液氨、液氢运输船和液化二氧化碳(LCO2)运输船等，其20,000立方米液氢运输船和氨燃料预留VLGC船设计已获得船级社批准，适用于LNG动力船舶的船载二氧化碳捕获、储存技术也在今年年初取得了原则性认证。

    Recently, South Korean shipbuilder Samsung Heavy Industries (SHI) has won an order for the construction of two very large gas carriers (VLGCs) worth approximately $190 million (KRW 270.7 billion). The two gas carriers are slated for delivery by the end of 2025. SHI is on track of meeting its yearly orderbook target of $8.8 billion, having secured orders for 339 ships this year, worth $7.4 billion, Yonhap reports. Prompted by the ever-stricter environmental regulations in the maritime industry, Samsung has been active on numerous fronts with respect to exploring vessel designs including ships running on alternative fuels, such as ammonia, hydrogen carriers and liquified carbon dioxide carriers (LCO2). It was reported that the shipyard has obtained the design approval of 20000 cubic meters of liquefied hydrogen carrier and ammonia ready VLGC, and announced the approval of its proposed carbon capture and storage principle for LNG ships at the beginning of this year.

P.n. 超大型液化气体运输船

Tips：VLGC是一种专门装运液化气的大型液货船，是液化气船家族中载运量最大的一种，可装载液化石油气、液化天然气等多种液化气体，其危险系数高、设计建造难度大。液化气船经过半个世纪的发展，逐渐由小型的全压式液化气船向低温、大容量运输为主的半冷半压式和全冷式液化气船发展。随着液化气海运量的增加，出于航运经济性的考虑，中长距离干线运输的液化气船正朝大型化方向发展。
