China’s Hudong-Zhonghua Shipbuilding confirmed it has received an order for an LNG bunker vessel from TotalEnergies.

It said the 18,600-cbm vessel — its 100th LNG newbuilding to be contracted — is due for delivery at the end of 2026.

TradeWinds has previously named Spain’s Grupo Ibaizabal as the winner of a tender run by TotalEnergies for the new LNGBV.
