        马来西亚船东MISC旗下石油公司AET船队更新工作持续进行中，新签订了两艘液化天然气（LNG）双燃料阿芙拉型油轮的长期租约。

        4月17日，AET公司表示其已与新加坡船东Singfar签订两艘液化天然气（LNG）双燃料油轮的长期租约。

        这两艘船将从2027年底开始租给AET公司船队，为其减少温室气体排放做出贡献。

        AET公司总裁兼首席执行官Zahid Osman表示：“今天的签约标志着AET在船队更新换代方面又迈出了重要一步，这与我们AET2030能源转型战略相一致。从2027年底开始，我司船队将长期租用这两艘生态高效型船舶，它们会让我们离到2030年实现温室气体排放强度降低40%的目标（从2008年基线起算）更进一步，同时也更接近实现MISC集团到2050年实现净零排放的宏伟目标。”

  
        除利用液化天然气（LNG）外，该公司还根据去碳化议程，在使用氨作为空气燃料方面取得了长足进步。

        为此，AET公司最近订购并租出了“全球首批”两艘氨双燃料阿芙拉型油轮。

        这两艘油轮将由中国船舶工业集团公司（CSSC）旗下的中国造船企业大连船舶重工集团有限公司（DSIC）建造，并租给马来西亚国家石油公司（Petronas）的中游服务子公司PETCO Trading Labuan Company (PTLCL)。

        展望未来，MISC集团欲与志同道合的行业参与者开展进一步合作，从而推动氨作为船用燃料所需生态系统的发展。

AET brings in Singfar’s LNG dual-fuel Aframax duo on long-term charter

AET, a petroleum arm of Malaysia’s shipowner MISC, is advancing its fleet rejuvenation efforts with a new long-term charter for two LNG dual-fuel Aframaxes.

AET said on April 17 it had locked in the new long-term charter for two LNG dual-fuel oil tankers with Singaporean shipowner Singfar.

The vessels will go on a charter to AET’s fleet from the end of 2027, contributing to the company’s greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reduction.

AET’s President & CEO, Zahid Osman, commented: “Today’s signing signifies another important step forward in AET’s fleet rejuvenation efforts, aligned with our AET2030 Energy Transition Strategy. By adding these two eco-efficient vessels on long-term charter to our fleet from end 2027, they will bring AET closer towards our 2030 target of 40% GHG emissions intensity reduction (from 2008 baseline) and the MISC Group’s ambition of net-zero by 2050.”

In addition to LNG, the company is also making strides in utilizing ammonia as mairne fuel in line with decarbonization agenda.
To this end, AET just recently ordered and chartered out ‘the world’s first’ two ammonia dual-fuel Aframaxes.

The tanker duo will be built by Chinese shipbuilder Dalian Shipbuilding Industry Co. (DSIC), a subsidiary of China State Shipbuilding Corporation (CSSC), and chartered to Malaysian company PETCO Trading Labuan Company (PTLCL), Petronas’ midstream services arm.

Going forward, the MISC Group also intends to further collaborate with like-minded industry players to drive the development of the required ecosystem to support ammonia as a bunker fuel.
