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.

克拉克森统计数据显示，航运业的绿色转型步伐正在加快，船东开始投资氢、氨等替代燃料动力船舶。目前，全球商船队中已有超过320艘“液化天然气预留”船舶，此外还有99艘“液化天然气预留”船舶、130艘“氨预留”船舶以及6艘“氢预留”船舶的订单。超过5,500艘船舶应用了包括导管螺旋桨、旋筒帆和空气润滑等在内的节能技术（EST），占总吨位的24.5%。压载水管理系统（BWMS）的改造也在按计划进行，约占总吨位70.6%的船舶已安装了该系统。超过1,700艘船舶已安装或计划安装岸电连接设备，但拥有岸电系统的港口仅有171个（约6,000个码头），急需加大对港口设施的投资。

The green transition of the shipping industry is picking up pace with shipowners starting to invest in vessels that are technologically prepared to burn alternative fuels such as ammonia and hydrogen. There are now over 320 “LNG ready” ships in the fleet and 99 on the orderbook, while there are 130 “ammonia ready” and 6 “hydrogen ready” vessels on order. Energy-saving technologies (ESTs) have been fitted on over 5,550 ships, accounting for 24.5% of fleet tonnage: this includes propeller ducts, Flettner rotors, air lubrication systems and others. BWMS retrofit programme ongoing: majority of fleet tonnage (70.6%) now BWMS-fitted. Huge investment at ports is needed: only 171 ports (out of ~6,000) have shore side power, while over 1,700 vessels are fitted/set to be fitted with shore power connections.
