据海上能源4月13日报道，卡塔尔能源公司与日本航运公司商船三井 (MOL)的子公司签署了一系列的定期租船合同，以长期租用和运营四艘液化天然气船。
据卡塔尔能源公司称，这是该公司大规模液化天然气运输计划授予的第一批定期租船合同。
与此同时，MOL签订了背靠背的LNG船造船合同，建造四艘新的LNG船。
这些新建项目将服务于卡塔尔能源公司的LNG增长项目和未来的船队需求。
能源事务国务大臣兼卡塔尔能源公司首席执行官Saad Sherida Al-Kaabi说：“这些合同标志着卡塔尔能源公司历史性船队扩张计划建设阶段的开始，以支持我们的液化天然气扩张项目。我们很高兴能与来自中国和日本的可靠的商业伙伴一起迈出这一重要的一步。”
“我们期待在不久的将来宣布更多这样的合同，以确保为世界提供更多可靠的清洁能源。”
卡塔尔能源公司指出，签署首个LNG船东合同标志着2021年3月启动的船东招标工作的结束。
卡塔尔能源公司表示，其他被选中的船东将在适当的时候公布。
早在2020年，这家卡塔尔公司就与沪东-中华造船公司签订了一项协议，为其未来的液化天然气运输船船队的需求储备的液化天然气船建造能力，包括北部油田的扩建项目。
现在，新签署的合同代表着亚洲大国造船商于2021年10月宣布的首批4艘新液化天然气运输船的设计和建造工作的开始。

QatarEnergy hands out first batch of LNG ship-owner contracts
State-owned oil and gas company QatarEnergy has signed a series of time-charter parties (TCPs) with a subsidiary of Japanese shipping company Mitsui O.S.K. Lines (MOL) for the long-term charter and operation of four LNG ships.
According to QatarEnergy, this is the first batch of TCPs awarded under the company’s massive LNG shipping program.
At the same time, back-to-back LNG carrier shipbuilding contracts were signed between MOL and one Asian Shipbuilding Group,for the construction of four new LNG carriers.
The newbuilds will serve QatarEnergy’s LNG growth projects and future fleet requirements.
“These contracts mark the start of the construction phase of QatarEnergy’s historic fleet expansion program in support of our LNG expansion projects. We are pleased to be working with our reliable business partners from China and Japan,to take this important step together”, said Saad Sherida Al-Kaabi, the Minister of State for Energy Affairs and the president and CEO of QatarEnergy.
“We look forward to announcing many more such contracts in the near future in our relentless pursuit to ensure a reliable supply of additional clean energy to the world.”
QatarEnergy noted that the signing of the first LNG ship-owner contract marks the conclusion of the ship-owner invitation to tender that was launched in March 2021.
Other ship-owners that have been selected by QatarEnergy as part of such process will be announced in due course, the company informed.
Back in 2020, the Qatari company entered into an agreement with the Shipbuilding to reserve LNG ship construction capacity in Asian for its future LNG carrier fleet requirements, including for the North Field expansion projects.
Now, the newly-signed contracts represent the beginning of the design and construction of the first four new LNG carriers from the shipbuilder announced in October 2021.
