WE Tech receives order
from UECC regarding its
new LNG PCTC
W
E Tech Solutions has received a repeat order from
Jiangnan Shipyard Group Co. Ltd, China to deliver
its ‘Solution Four: Efficient Power Distribution’ for the
third new generation pure car/truck carrier (PCTC) vessel
of United European Car Carriers (UECC).
The repeat order comes after WE Tech contracted
Jiangnan Shipyard Group Co., Ltd, China, to deliver the
same solution to a series of two PCTC vessels for UECC
in 2019.
The tailored WE Tech Solution Four will place
UECC’s new vessels beyond the International Maritime
Organization’s (IMO) target for a 40% reduction in
carbon intensity by 2030. They will also meet the
IMO Tier 3 NOx emissions limitations entering into force
in the Baltic and North Sea from 2021 keel lays.
“We take this repeat order as shipowner and
shipyard’s acknowledgement of our reliable and
highly environmental-sustainable solutions”, says
Martin Andtfolk, Sales Manager of WE Tech Solutions.
“The efficient power distribution solution together with
[the energy storage system (ESS)] will make vessel
electric power generation even more efficient and
cost-effective.”

Novatek reaches natural gas
production milestone
P
ao Novatek has announced that it has reached a
milestone of 1 trillion m³ in cumulative natural
gas production since commencing its natural gas field
development program.
The company commenced producing natural gas at its
East-Tarkosalinskoye field with the launch of the first gas
treatment unit in 1998. Subsequently, the company started
developing deeper gas condensate bearing layers that
required the application of new state-of-the-art technologies,
including drilling large diameter, long horizontal wells
with multi-stage fracturing. The combination of natural gas
produced from subsidiary companies and joint ventures has
steadily increased over the past few years, and, with the
successful launch of its flagship Yamal LNG project in 2017,
Novatek has transformed from providing natural gas to the
Russian domestic market to a global LNG player.
“Today, Novatek is one of the largest natural gas
producers globally. Reaching cumulative natural gas
volume of 1 trillion m³ is a significant milestone for the
company, and we are very proud of what we achieved since
the company’s foundation. We have built a natural gas
platform both domestically and now internationally with our
Yamal LNG project that is one of the most cost-competitive
in the industry,” noted Leonid Mikhelson, Novatek’s Chairman
of the Management Board.
