The two companies will work together in fields such as energy transportation, equipment building and global services, and Qatar Petroleum will order large LNG carriers from Hudong-Zhonghua, one of the major subsidiaries of the CSSC, according to the agreement.
The CSSC said Qatar Petroleum will purchase Hudong-Zhonghua's latest self-developed 174,000-cubic-meter LNG carriers, designed with world-class performance in terms of energy consumption, environmental friendliness and reliability.
Hudong-Zhonghua will also reserve berths for follow-up orders, said the CSSC.
The deal marks a global recognition of Chinese manufacturers and will support the further upgrading of China's high-end maritime equipment manufacturing, said CSSC Chairman Lei Fanpei.
