澳大利亞全球能源投資公司(GEV)是全球海洋壓縮天然氣(CNG)項目的開發商，該公司和煙臺中集萊佛士離岸有限公司(CIMC Raffles Offshore Limited)已經延長了合作意向書(LoI)，計劃建造200艘CNG最優船舶。

根據全球能源投資公司提交給證券交易所的文件，延期6個月至2020年12月31日。

合作意向書內容涉及建造4艘200MMscf壓縮天然氣(CNG)船，全球能源投資公司可以選擇再另外訂購4艘。

該協議于2019年7月簽署，為簽訂造船合同鋪平了道路。

全球能源投資公司當時表示，擬議的合同價格范圍為每艘船1.35億至1.4億美元。

“在過去的六個月中，我們的項目團隊與中集萊佛士的團隊緊密合作，完成了我們在巴西和美國的重點項目中重要的海洋工程工作。”本工作采用壓縮天然氣優化船的基礎設計和合格的新設計，包括兩種額外的海上裝載氣體的方法。這些是STL和SAL氣體加載系統，”執行主席和首席執行官Maurice Brand說。

“這項工作使該公司處于有利地位，可以確保我們的首個壓縮天然氣項目在巴西和美國等多個國家的應用。”

Global Energy Ventures, CIMC Raffles extend LoI

Australia’s Global Energy Ventures (GEV), a developer of global integrated marine compressed natural gas (CNG) projects, and Yantai CIMC Raffles Offshore Limited (CIMC Raffles) have extended their Letter of Intent (LoI) to build the CNG Optimum 200 ships.

The extension is for six months through to December 31, 2020, according to a stock exchange filing from GEV.

The LoI concerns the construction of four firm 200MMscf Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) ships with the option for GEV to order up to an additional four ships.

It was signed back in July 2019, paving the way for the signing of a shipbuilding contract.

GEV said at the time that the proposed contract price range was $ 135-140 million per ship.

“During the past six months our project teams have worked closely with the team at CIMC Raffles to complete important marine engineering work on our priority projects in Brazil and the US. This work has taken the base design of the CNG Optimum ship and qualified new designs to include two additional methods for loading gas offshore. These are the STL and SAL gas loading systems,” Executive Chairman and CEO Maurice Brand said.

“This work has put the company into a strong position to secure our first project CNG project for multiple applications including Brazil and the US.”
