OUR FLEET

Nakilat  owns one of the world’s largest LNG shipping fleets, comprising 69 LNG carriers. Our vessels are technologically advanced, environmentally responsible, and cost-efficient, and the majority of our fleet is secured under long-term charter agreements, while the remainder of the fleet is utilized, in spot shipping markets worldwide. These LNG carriers are either wholly-owned by us or jointly-owned with other leading international shipping companies.

Our LNG fleet comprises of:

  • 24 conventional carriers (145,000-174,000 cbm)
  • 31 Q-Flex (210,000-217,000 cbm)
  • 14 Q-Max (263,000-266,000 cbm)

Nakilat’s LNG fleet has a combined carrying capacity of over 14.28 million cubic meters, which is about 11% of the global LNG fleet carrying capacity. 

We also jointly-own 1 FSRU vessel, bringing our overall fleet strength to 70 vessels.

Nakilat works closely with our partners to ensure the highest international safety, security and shipping standards are maintained across our fleet, in line with our commitment to safely, reliably and efficiently provide shipping services.

We continue to expand our fleet, further reinforcing our leadership in clean energy transportation. Upon the completion of these projects, our fleet will grow to a total of 110 ships, enhancing our capacity to meet the global growing needs for clean energy transportation.
