        沙特阿拉伯国家航运公司(Bahri) 与希腊船东Capital Maritime and Trading Corporation（CMTC）敲定一份船舶采购协议，确定订购9艘超大型油轮。

 

        该协议签订于2024年8月9日，作为协议的一部分，该公司决定购买9艘超大型油轮，总价值预计约达37.5亿沙特里亚尔，折合约10亿美元。

 

        这9艘超大型油轮主要建造于韩国，平均船龄达5.9年，平均载重吨数达31万1500吨。这些船舶都安装了洗涤器，配备有高能效的低排放装置，以减少船舶对环境的影响。

 

        CMTC公司已同意在2025年第1季度结束前分批将装有洗涤器的超大型油轮运输至沙特阿拉伯国家航运公司(Bahri) 。

 

        支付环节上，双方已达成协议，沙特阿拉伯国家航运公司(Bahri)将在签署协议后预先支付订单额的10%，剩下的90%在确认交货后再支付。

 

        此次交易有望协助沙特阿拉伯国家航运公司(Bahri)推进其舰队现代化计划。此交易的主要目的在于帮助该沙特阿拉伯巨头简化淘汰船队中过时船舶的流程。

 

         此外，该交易旨在改善沙特阿拉伯国家航运公司(Bahri)整体船队的竞争力，以增强该公司的利润和收益。

 

        这些订购的超大型油轮将协助公司石油运输事业部为其客户提供石油原油运输服务。目前，该部门旗下运营有一支包括40艘超大型油轮的舰队。

 

        近日，沙特阿拉伯国家航运公司(Bahri)同沙特阿拉伯矿业巨头Ma’aden签署了合作意向书(LoI)，以在海运业拓展与其商业合作机会，发展弹性供应链。

 

        今年1月份，沙特阿拉伯国家航运公司(Bahri)和瑞士甲醇生产商、油轮船东Proman签署了一份为期5年的协议，约定定期租用其2艘甲醇动力船舶，Stena Provident号和Stena Progressive号船舶。这两艘船舶由中国广船国际（GSI）建造。

 

        为减少排放，沙特阿拉伯国家航运公司(Bahri)旗下化学品业务部门Bahri Chemical从总部位于达曼的HMD综合咨询公司接收了10艘新造的AMWAJ型环保船舶。

Bahri snaps up 9 VLCCs for $1bln as part of ‘ambitious’ fleet modernization plan

 

The National Shipping Company of Saudi Arabia (Bahri) has finalized a purchase agreement with shipping firm Capital Maritime and Trading Corporation to acquire nine very large crude carriers (VLCCs).

 

As part of the agreement, which was signed on August 19, 2024, the company decided to acquire the nine VLCCs for an approximate amount of SAR 3.75 billion ($1 billion).

 

The majority of the nine VLCCs are built in South Korea, with an average age of 5.9 years and an average deadweight tonnage (DWT) of around 311,500. They are scrubber-fitted VLCCs and equipped with high energy efficiency and low emission features to reduce environmental impact.

 

The Capital Maritime agreed to deliver the eco-scrubber VLCCs to Bahri in multiple batches before the end of the first quarter of 2025.

 

As for the payment schedule, it was agreed that Bahri will pay 10% of the total transaction amount upon signing the purchase agreement, while the remaining 90% is to be paid upon delivery of the vessels.

 

The transaction is expected to advance Bahri’s fleet modernization plans. The main purpose of this acquisition is to enable the Saudi giant to streamline the process of phasing out older vessels in the fleet going forward.

 

Moreover, the transaction is poised to improve Bahri’s overall fleet competitiveness to enhance the company’s revenues and profitability.

 

The VLCCs will be used by Bahri Oil Transport business unit to deliver crude oil cargoes for its clients. Its oil transport business unit currently operates a fleet of 40 VLCCs.

 

Bahri recently signed a Letter of Intent (LoI) with Saudi Arabian mining giant Ma’aden to establish business integration opportunities in the maritime industry and develop resilient supply chains.

 

In January this year, Saudi Arabia’s national shipping carrier signed a five-year agreement with Swiss methanol producer and tanker owner Proman to time-charter two methanol-powered ships, Stena Provident and Stena Progressive. The vessels were built at Guangzhou Shipyard International (GSI) in China.

 

To reduce its emissions, Bahri Chemical also took delivery of ten eco newbuild AMWAJ-type vessels from Dammam-headquartered HMD General Contracting (HMD).
