The 175,000 cbm-capacity LNG carrier, Al Shelila, can run on both LNG and conventional marine fuels.

It was delivered two months ahead of schedule, while the remaining five vessels in the series are expected to be delivered in 2025 and 2026.

In October, AW Shipping—a joint venture between ADNOC L&S and China's Wanhua Chemical—ordered two additional LPG dual-fuel Very Large Ammonia Carriers (VLACs) from Jiangnan Shipyard. Earlier, in July, AW Shipping placed an order with the same shipyard for nine ethane dual-fuel Very Large Ethane Carriers (VLECs) and two LPG dual-fuel VLACs.
