石油设备网讯 据世界天然气网站4月22日消息 卡塔尔天然气运输公司（Nakilat）是世界上最大的液化天然气运输公司，今年第一季度报告利润增长9%。
Nakilat报告净利润为2.36亿卡塔尔里亚尔（6480万美元），而2018年同期为2.17亿卡塔尔里亚尔。
该公司在其报告中称，这一增长主要是由于2018年收购了两艘液化天然气运输船和一个浮式储存再气化设施以及Nakilat修船厂的更多项目。
该公司通过最近与马兰天然气合资公司的扩张，成功扩大了其国际投资组合，增加了四艘液化天然气运输船。新合资企业拥有4艘液化天然气船，使得Nakilat的船舶数量已增至74艘，约占全球液化天然气船队运力的11.5%。
该船队包括4艘新船，由69艘液化天然气船、4艘液化石油气船和1艘浮式储存再气化船（FSRU）组成。

Nakilat reports 9 pct profit jump
Qatar’s Nakilat, the world’s largest liquefied natural gas (LNG) shipping company, reported a 9 percent increase in profit in the first quarter of the year.
Nakilat reported a net profit of 236 million Qatari Riyals ($64.8 million) which compares to 217 million Qatari Riyals reported in the corresponding quarter in 2018.
This increase was mainly due to the acquisitions of two liquefied natural gas (LNG) carriers and one floating storage regasification unit (FSRU) in 2018, and higher volume of projects at Nakilat’s ship repair facility, the company stated in its report.
The company has managed to grow its international portfolio through the recent expansion with Maran Gas Ventures to include four additional LNG carriers. With 4 LNG vessels under the new JV, the number of Nakilat’s vessels has increased to 74, accounting for approximately 11.5 percent of the global LNG fleet in carrying capacity.
The fleet includes four newbuilds and consists of 69 LNG carriers, four LPG carriers and one floating storage regasification unit (FSRU).
