Speed ​​up to enter the LNG tanker market, gasify the Yangtze River strategy, and drive the demand for PU to increase

China speeds up its entry into the international LNG tanker market

Reuters 12month1212 reported on the 22nd that as the long-term dominant Korean shipyards have been fully booked, domestic and foreign shipowners They are seeking such special ships from Chinese shipbuilding enterprises. According to ClarksonsData show that this year's global163 orders for new gas carriers 45Ship, this45 The value of the ship order is about 98100 million US dollars (about 684 100 million yuan), about 2021Annual order value 5 times.

The conflict between Russia and Ukraine has disrupted the flow of global energy supplies and sent freight rates soaring to record levels, the report said. Chinese shipyards have tripled orders for LNG tankers as Chinese gas traders and fleet operators seek to secure shipping. As South Korean shipbuilders scramble to service a massive expansion of Qatar's North Field, Chinese shipyards have also attracted more foreign orders, including from some that have only recently qualified to build membrane LNG carriers The first batch of overseas orders.

"Gasification of the Yangtze River”The strategy will driveThe demand for LNG ships has increased

"Gasification of the Yangtze River" refers to the use of LNG through technical transformation and upgradingThe "oil-to-gas" green project that replaces power fuels refuels ships sailing the Yangtze River with green energy. LNGSmaller than natural gas of the same quality625 times, with clean, low carbon, environmental protection, safety and other multiple Advantages,LNG�style="color:#222222">Type Membrane Chamber), about a total of 56000 insulation boxes. The insulation thickness of the insulation box is about 530 mm, the weight of the insulation layer is about 138kg/square meters. The materials of the insulation layer are laminate and perlite (filled into the insulation box). For the improved NO.96-LO3andNO.96-L03+, using polyurethane foam and glass wool Instead of perlite, thereby reducing the natural evaporation rate of the cargo hold from about 0.15%Reduce to about0.1%.

In addition, for MARK series membrane type liquid cargo tank (with MARK III as an example), the construction process and NO.96 type membrane tank is similar, and the inner hull is laid9mm thick laminate, layers 170mm polyurethane foam as secondary insulation. 0.6Millimeter-thick is made of a three-layer structure consisting of two layers of glass cloth with a layer of aluminum foil sandwiched between them. 100 mm thick polyurethane foam as primary insulation .

As of this year7At the end of the month, Hudong Shipyard has received a total of orders20 Ships, also set a record in ChinaLNGThe record for the highest amount of a single order for a ship.

China's accelerated entry into the international LNG carrier market and the strategy of "gasifying the Yangtze River" will undoubtedly benefit domestic shipbuilding The development of the industry and the demand for polyurethane insulation materials.
