ASYAD Shipping, the shipping arm of Oman's global integrated logistics service, signed an agreement with Korea's Hyundai Samho Heavy Industries to build two fifth-generation liquefied natural gas (LNG) carriers in 2026, reports the Muscat Daily.
The agreement will increase Asyad Group's world-class shipping fleet to 72 tankers, anticipating the demand growth for LNG transport in the global market.
With the EU Sustainable Finance Taxonomy labelling the use of LNG as "green", Asyad Shipping's choice of investment showcases the group's commitment to sustainability when global industries are diverging from dependence on fossil fuels.
LNG is an important resource in this transition, seen as the cleanest and most sustainable fossil fuel, which places it in a prime position to dominate the energy transition towards zero-emission fuels.
"Asyad Shipping's investment comes at a time when green energy demands are growing, exacerbated by international geopolitical developments and the dire need for decarbonized logistics and energy sectors," said Asyad Drydock CEO Ibrahim al Nadhairi.
