On May 28th 2010 another of the world's largest and most advanced Q Max LNG carriers was delivered to Nakilat and Qatargas at Samsung Heavy Industries Company Limited shipyard on Geoje Island.
The Nakilat owned Q Max LNG Carrier Aamira will be used by Qatargas on a long term charter to ship LNG produced by Qatar Liquefied Gas Company Limited known as Qatargas 4 to markets primarily in the North America, People's Republic of China and Dubai.
The Q Flex and the even larger Q Max are a new generation of LNG mega ships. The Q Max has 80% more capacity than conventional LNG carriers with about 40% lower energy requirements due to the economies of scale created by their size and the efficiency of the engines. Q Max LNG carriers are unique and purpose built for Nakilat and allow for more efficient transport of Qatar's natural gas to markets throughout the world. QG4 shareholders are Qatar Petroleum and Royal Dutch Shell.
