Shipbuilding, pricing and bunkering details of the groundbreaking LNG-fuelled VLCCs for energy major Total and MISC Group subsidiary AET have begun to emerge.

On Tuesday, Total said it had signed a charter deal with AET for two LNG-fuelled 300,000-dwt VLCCs. The ships will be delivered in the first quarter of 2022 and will join the French energy major’s time-chartered fleet.
