August 22nd.

The capital of Qatar, Doha.

Kempinski Hotel.

In the luxurious conference hall.

The “Qatar Hundred Ships Plan” order bidding meeting, which has attracted much attention from the global shipbuilding industry, is being held grandly.

The 100-ship plan refers to Qatar Energy Company’s implementation of its northern gas field growth project to meet its demand for shipping capacity as its LNG production grows.

Qatar Gas Company, a subsidiary of Qatar Energy Company, is inviting bids from shipowners and shipyards around the world to build 300 LNG carriers, with a total order price of up to US$60 billion.

At the same time that Qatar Energy Company launched the “100-ship construction plan”,

shipping companies around the world capable of building LNG carriers flocked to the project, eager to obtain this sky-high order.

In the luxurious conference hall.

The shipping companies participating in the bidding are all well-known.

Kimchi’s national shipbuilding companies include Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering, Hyundai Heavy Industries, Samyang Heavy Industries, STX Shipbuilding, etc.

Neon’s national shipbuilding companies include Imabari Shipbuilding, Neon Shipbuilding United, Tsuneishi Shipbuilding, Mitsui ES Shipbuilding, etc.

Xiaguo shipbuilding companies include Xiaguo Shipbuilding Group, Hudong-Zhonghua Shipyard, COSCO Shipping Energy Group, Rainbow Shipbuilding Group, etc.

Russian United Shipbuilding Corporation, Italian Fincantieri Group, German Meyer Shipyard, Français Atlantique Shipyard, Dutch Aker Shipyard, Singapore Sembcorp Marine Group and other companies came to the scene.

In the conference room.

The atmosphere was tense.

LNG liquefied natural gas carrier, also known as “sea super refrigerated truck”.

It can transport liquefied natural gas at a low temperature of minus 163 degrees Celsius. It is recognized in the world as the most difficult to build, high-tech, high-reliability and high-added value special ship.

For tens of thousands of tons of liquid natural gas at minus 163 degrees Celsius to safely complete a long journey of thousands of kilometers, the safety requirements for ships are extremely high.

Once the cryogenic chamber leaks, it will easily cause the hull steel plate to become brittle.

If the liquefied natural gas leaks from the crack and vaporizes quickly, it will explode in an instant, destroying the ship and killing everyone.

Not an exaggeration.

LNG carriers are as difficult to build as aircraft carriers!

Because of this 23.

Companies in various countries that are capable of building LNG carriers are bound to win the US$60 billion order from the 100-ship plan.

Even if you can’t get all the orders.

Even if they only get orders for a dozen or seven or eight ships, they can make a fortune.。

……

The bidding meeting begins.

Sherida Alkabi, President of Qatar Energy Company, walked up to the stage in front of the audience.

Alkabi looked around and said loudly: “Our Qatar Energy Company will fully promote the northern oil and gas field expansion plan this time, which will rapidly increase the annual production capacity of Qatar’s liquefied natural gas from the current 77 million tons to 126 million tons in 2027. tons, so that we can reliably provide more clean energy to the world.

In order to increase transportation capacity,

we decided to order 300 LNG carriers, with a total order value of US$60 billion.”

The words fell.

The heads of the shipping companies at the scene were all smiling.

The order for 300 LNG carriers undoubtedly qualifies all shipping companies to participate.

In people’s skirts.

Kimchi Country’s Daewoo Shipbuilding, Samyang Heavy Industries, Hyundai Heavy Industries, and STX Shipbuilding are full of confidence.

They are the country with the strongest LNG ship construction capabilities in the world.

Unique technological competitiveness has swept the global LNG ship market for several consecutive years.

Last year, among the 76 orders for LNG carriers in the world, Kimchi State received 66, accounting for 86.8%.

The four shipping companies are determined to win these 300 LNG orders!

On the other hand, look at the Xia Kingdom.

Sun Yuan, chairman of Xiaguo Shipbuilding Group, is worried.

At present, Xiaguo shipbuilding enterprises have obvious advantages in the competition of low value-added bulk carriers by virtue of their cost advantages, while Kimchiguo has an absolute advantage in high value-added ship types such as LNG ships and LPG ships.

Last year, Xia State received orders for five LNG ships, and its ability to build LNG ships is far inferior to that of Kimchi State.

I’m afraid they won’t have a chance to get involved in this huge order of 300 LNG carriers.

Think of this.

Sun Yuan glanced at Gu Ting, the general manager of Rainbow Shipping Group.

Half a month ago.

Caihong Shipping Group completed the construction of 100 Caihong LNG liquefied natural gas carriers and delivered them to Caihong Energy Group.

This time, the order is worth US$60 billion.

Rainbow Shipping Group may become the biggest winner!

Neon State Shipbuilding Company.

The heads of various shipping companies mainly come to join in the fun.

They received a total of one LNG carrier order last year and will definitely not be able to compete with Kimchi’s state-owned shipping companies.

The only hope is that…

Qatar Energy Company can weigh the interests of multiple parties and will not give all 300 LNG ship orders to Kimchi Country。

……

On the high platform.

Alkabi said: “Recently, we have sent people to major shipping companies to conduct on-site inspections.

Now, we have learned about the comprehensive strength of each shipbuilding company in building LNG carriers.

I announce that we have won the Qatar Hundred Ship Plan The company that placed the order for 300 LNG ships is Xia Guo Caihong Shipping Group!”

The words just finished.

There was an uproar.

All 300 LNG ship orders were given to Rainbow Shipbuilding?

They didn’t even get an order for one ship? !

Is there a shady secret behind the bidding?

Kimchi State Shipbuilding Company, which originally had a smile on its face, looked confused.

what’s the situation?

The company that got the order was not from Kimchi Country?

Was there any mistake? !

Park Doo-hyun, the president of Daewoo Shipbuilding, immediately stood up and said: “Mr. Alkabi, I have an objection!” Han Yong-suk, the

president of Hyundai Heavy Industries, Jung Jeong-taek, the president of Samyang Heavy Industries, and Kang Deok-seo, the president of STX Shipbuilding, stood up at the same time and said: “The construction cycle of an LNG carrier in Kimchi Country is 600 days, while the Hudong Shipyard under Xiaguo Shipbuilding Group requires a construction cycle of 950 days. Why can’t we get the order?” Alka didn’t wait

. Than talk.

Gu Ting, general manager of Caihong Shipping Group, said bluntly in English: “The reason is very simple. Our construction cycle of LNG carriers at Caihong Shipping Group only takes 100 days!” After hearing

this.

The scene was in uproar again.

It only takes 100 days for Caihong Shipbuilding Group to build an LNG carrier?

How can this be? !

Alkabi smiled and nodded: “Mr. Gu is right.

When we went to Rainbow Shipbuilding Group for an on-site inspection, we

witnessed the other party’s amazing shipbuilding level with our own eyes.

Rainbow Shipbuilding Group’s shipbuilding level has surpassed that of the world. Come on!”

The words came out.

Park Douxuan, Han Yongxi, Zheng Zhengze, and Jiang Deshou looked at each other in disbelief.

The four shipping companies, even if they try their best.

It is also impossib

le to build an LNG carrier within 100 days.

How can the strength of Rainbow Shipping Group be so strong?

Is it cheating? !

The four of them discussed quietly for a while.

Park Douxuan said: “Mr. Alkabi, our kimchi shipbuilding companies can reduce prices.

A 17.4 cubic meter ultra-large LNG carrier on the market was originally priced at US$200 million.

With the increase in raw material prices in the international market , , the current price of an LNG carrier is US$224 million.

If you give us the order for 300 LNG ships,

we can reduce the price to US$190 million per ship.

In this way.

300 LNG ships The total price is 57 billion U.S. dollars.

Qatar Energy Company can save 3 billion U.S. dollars.”

Hearing this. (If you want to read Baoshuang novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

The heads of various shipping companies on the scene were a little speechless.

In the past, when Kimchi’s state-owned shipping companies received orders.

The price is very competitive, just pay for it.

Now that Rainbow Shipbuilding Group is threatening their position and has decided to cut prices in an instant, can you please show some respect?

Park Douxuan and others actually had no choice.

It takes them 600 days to build an LNG ship, while the rainbow ship only takes 100 days.

A construction time gap of nearly 500 days.

It will make Caihong Shipbuilding Group the big brother in the global LNG shipbuilding industry.

What else can they do if they don’t lower the price?

Are you waiting to drink the northwest wind in the future?

“terribly sorry!

Alkabi quickly shook his head and said, “Qatar is one of the countries with the largest reserves of natural gas resources in the world. ”

We are not short of money, we are just short of LNG carriers.

The speed at which Rainbow Shipbuilding Group manufactures LNG ships is several times faster than yours. The advantage is huge!

Moreover, the latest design concepts and technical standards of Caihong Shipping Group’s LNG ships have reached the top level in the world, and are better than those of your Kimchi state shipbuilding companies. ”

The words fell.

Park Douxuan and the other two looked desperate.

This time, they failed miserably in ordering 300 LNG carriers!

Next,

a grand signing ceremony was held on the spot.。[]

Qatar Energy Company and Xiaguo Caihong Shipbuilding Group have officially reached a cooperation!

……

After the signing ceremony.

Park Douxuan, Han Yongxi, Zheng Zhengze, and Jiang Dexue looked extremely lonely.

Media reporters rushed up with microphones in hand。

“President Park Doo-hyun, since the price of Daewoo Shipbuilding LNG carriers can be reduced to US$190 million per unit, why did you insist on holding on to the bottom line of US$200 million?”

“President Zheng Zhengze, 3 Orang Heavy Industry Group failed today. Should you give an explanation to 3 Orang Group Corporation? When will you apologize in public?”

“President Han Yongxi, you looked livid just now. Are you dissatisfied with Qatar Energy Company? Or are you dissatisfied with the country of Qatar?”

“President Jiang Deshuo, what is the cost of STX Shipbuilding LNG carrier? The price of raw materials in the international market has increased. Why is your production cost cheaper?”

“Four presidents, with the rise of Rainbow Shipbuilding Group, you no longer have any advantage in high value-added ship types. In terms of low value-added ships, you are in a mess. Where should the four shipping companies go in the future?”

“Four presidents, you cannot even accept an order for an LNG carrier. How should you explain to the domestic taxpayers? What do you have to say about this?”

“Four presidents, the Internet in Kimchi Country is now in a frenzy. Netizens are asking you to apologize to the whole country and resign as president immediately!”

……

Park Douxuan:“……”

Han Yongxi:“……”

Zheng Zhengze:“……”

Professor Jiang Des:“……”

……

Compared with the dilemma of pickled Chinese shipbuilding companies.

The domestic Internet is abuzz.

Netizens roared with gongs and drums and fired firecrackers.

In recent years, Xia Guo has no advantages in the global LNG carrier field.

This time, Rainbow Shipping Group received an order for 300 LNG vessels from Qatar Energy Company, making all Chinese people feel proud!

……

The excitement among netizens has not yet passed.

Rainbow Shipping Group has good news frequently.

August 23rd.

Xiaguo Offshore Oil Group, Xiaguo Petrochemical Group, China Merchants Curium Group, and Caihong Shipping Group have signed a total of 80 LNG carrier orders worth US$16 billion.

August 24.

Abu Dhabi National Oil Company and Rainbow Shipping Group signed an order for 20 LNG carriers worth US$4 billion.

August 25th.

Russian natural gas producer Novatek signed a US$2.6 billion order with Rainbow Shipbuilding Group.

The order includes seven ice-breaking LNG carriers and six ice-resistant LNG carriers.

August 26th.

Oceania Shipowners and Rainbow Shipping Group signed an order for 10 LNG carriers worth US$2 billion.

August 27th.

Malecia National Petroleum Company and Rainbow Shipping Group signed an order for eight LNG carriers worth US$1.6 billion.

August 28th.

Neon Tanker Co., Ltd. and Caihong Shipping Group signed an order for 6 LNG carriers worth US$1.2 billion。

……

Almost every day.

Rainbow Shipping Group is reaching LNG ship orders with major companies.

In this regard, Rainbow Shipping Group will not reject anyone who comes.

The speed at which they build LNG ships is incredibly fast.

On the one hand, they have the world’s best shipbuilding technology.

On the one hand, they are assisted by Rainbow Construction Co., Ltd.

Therefore.

They dare to say that they built a large LNG carrier from scratch in 100 days.

LPG carriers, trawlers, crane ships, engineering ships, deep water exploration ships, exploration ships, mining ships and other ship fields.

Rainbow Shipping Group has also signed corresponding orders with companies from all over the world.。

……

Facing the powerful rainbow ship���group.

Even Renmin Daily published an article praising it.

The report said: “As one of the three major industrial energy sources in the world, the density of natural gas is very low. The

current long-distance transportation methods are only pipeline gas transmission and LNG maritime transportation.

For Xia Guo,

the breakthrough in LNG technology is not only In order to obtain orders for ship types, it is also to gain a greater say in the global energy strategic competition.

Domestic technology is no longer what it used to be.

Rainbow Shipbuilding Group continues to innovate and make breakthroughs, and has embarked on a path of independent research and development, design and construction of large LNG ships. Road, its rise is the general trend!”

……

After seeing the report in Renmin Daily, netizens praised Rainbow Shipping Group.

For a long time, large LNG ships, together with aircraft carriers and luxury cruise ships, have been known as the “three pearls” in the crown of the global shipbuilding industry.

LNG carriers involve more than 100 systems and more than 5.5 million parts and components. They require supporting industries such as steel, machinery, electronics, and chemicals. They are characterized by high technical complexity and strong industrial driving force.

Its design and construction are a concentrated expression of a country’s scientific and technological level and an important symbol of a powerful shipbuilding country.

Rainbow Shipping Group is frantically receiving orders around the world.

This undoubtedly puts Xia’s shipbuilding industry at the top of the world! .
