The ARC7 LNG carriers will be built at the Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering Co. Ltd (DSME) shipyard in South Korea. Specifically, they will be 172 000 m3 in size, and be able to break 2.1 m of ice when going either forwards or backwards.
The Yamal LNG project, which is a joint venture amongst Total (20%), China National Oil & Gas Exploration and Development Corp. (CNODC) (20%) and Novatek (60%), will use three LNG trains and is scheduled to begin in 2017. Additionally, China’s Silk Road is looking to purchase a 9.9% share of the project from Novatek. These LNG trains will have an overall capacity of approximately 16.5 million tpy of LNG.
