ExxonMobil receives new LNG tankers

ExxonMobil has received delivery of two of a new breed of massive liquefied natural gas tanker this month, which will ship gas from projects in Qatar to importing markets around the globe.

The Mozah and Umm Slal tankers, owned by Qatar Gas Transport, are expected to carry up to 80% more LNG than today's average tanker and require around 40% less energy per unit of cargo than conventional carriers, ExxonMobil said in a statement.

ExxonMobil, in conjunction with Qatar Petroleum, has ordered a total of seven chartered Q-Max vessels -- six for Trains 4 and 5 of the Qatargas 2 LNG project and one for Trains 6 and 7 of the RasGas 3 project, both in Qatar, said a Reuters note.

"We expect the last of the Q-Max ships to be delivered in 2009," an ExxonMobil spokeswoman said.
