摘要

Until four years ago the largest vessels capable of carrying ethane offered cargo capacities of 22,100 m~3. Following recent deliveries, this size has more than quadrupled, and present projects look set to double unit capacities once again. This evolution in technology promotes the use of boil-off cargo in a dual-fuel engine arrangement and as ethane vessels become larger, they begin to offer greater cargo flexibility, with owners now able to specify a degree of readiness for future conversion to LNG. A flurry of activity from shipowners, yards and class societies is being driven by the prospect of cheap ethane from US shale deposits, as energy companies position themselves to benefit from an expansion of the ethane trade in key manufacturing centres across Asia and South America. In many respects, it was the success of Reliance Industries' pioneering use of Very Large Ethane Carriers (VLECs) to transport US ethane exports to India that transformed the gas sector and made clear the potential to further expand the market by exporting US ethane to new crackers in China.
