據世界天然氣7月29日消息稱，波蘭石油和天然氣公司 PGNiG 的子公司 PGNiG供應貿易公司(PST) 已與挪威航運公司 Knutsen OAS Shipping簽署了一項協議，租用兩艘液化天然氣(LNG)運輸船。

　　據了解，PST 將是他們 10 年的唯一用戶，并可選擇延長。

　　此外，據該公司稱，這些船只將專門為 PGNiG 集團建造，并將于 2024 年上半年投入使用。

　　PGNiG首席執行官Pawe? Majewski說道：“我們一直在發展PGNiG在國際液化天然氣市場的地位。租船是我們在這一領域實施計劃的重要一步。”

　　PGNiG集團已經在2020年與Knutsen OAS Shipping簽訂了首批兩艘液化天然氣運輸船合同。

　　兩份合同均規定，船東將負責船舶的交付、配員和維護。PST 將完全控制商業運營。

　　PST租用的4艘液化天然氣運輸船的容量均為17.4萬立方米，可裝載約7萬噸液化天然氣。

　　該公司稱，這意味著每艘油輪在再氣化后將能夠運輸相當于約 1 億立方米的燃料。

　　PGNiG inks LNG charter deal with Knutsen

　　PGNiG Supply & Trading (PST), a subsidiary of Poland’s oil and gas company PGNiG, has signed an agreement with Norway’s shipping company Knutsen OAS Shipping for chartering of two liquified natural gas (LNG) carriers.

　　As informed, PST will be their sole user for 10 years, with an option of extension.

　　Moreover, the vessels will be built exclusively for the PGNiG Group and will enter service in the first half of 2024, according to the company.

　　“We are consistently developing PGNiG’s position on the international LNG market. Chartering of the tankers is an important step to implement our plans in this area,” said Pawe? Majewski, PGNiG CEO.

　　The PGNiG Group has already contracted its first two LNG carriers in 2020, also with Knutsen OAS Shipping.

　　Both contracts stipulate that the shipowner will be responsible for the delivery, manning and maintenance of the vessels. PST will be in full control of the commercial operations.

　　All four LNG tankers chartered by PST will be vessels with a capacity of 174 thousand cubic meters, which gives the possibility of loading about 70 thousand tons of liquefied natural gas.

　　This means that each tanker will be able to transport a fuel load equivalent to about 100 million cubic meters after regasification, the company claims.
