Unveiling the Power of VLGCs: The Ultimate Guide to Supersized Cargo Shipping
Very large gas carriers (VLGCS) have emerged as pivotal players in the global shipping industry, transporting vast quantities of liquefied natural gas (LNG) and other energy products across international waters. With growing demand for energy and the expansion of LNG projects worldwide, VLGCs offer a crucial solution, enabling efficient and cost-effective transportation.
| Source | Number of VLGCS in Service | Total LNG Capacity |
|---|---|---|
| Clarkson Research | 195 | 21.9 million cubic meters |
| International Gas Union | 182 | 20.3 million cubic meters |
Table 1: Global VLGC Fleet Capacity
| Region | Number of VLGCS | Average Capacity (cubic meters) |
|---|---|---|
| Asia-Pacific | 115 | 200,000 |
| Europe | 55 | 175,000 |
| Americas | 18 | 160,000 |

Success Stories:
- QatarEnergy's LNG Mega-Project: Qatar, a global LNG leader, has signed long-term contracts with China for the construction and operation of 100 VLGCs, enabling the expansion of its LNG export capacity.
- TotalEnergies' Mozambique Venture: In Mozambique, TotalEnergies is developing a massive LNG project that includes the deployment of 24 VLGCS, supporting the transportation of gas from the project site to global markets.
- ExxonMobil's U.S. Gulf Coast Facility: ExxonMobil has invested heavily in a VLGC terminal along the U.S. Gulf Coast, facilitating the import and distribution of LNG to meet growing domestic demand.
