石油设备网讯 据世界天然气网站3月21日消息 总部位于摩纳哥的液化天然气运输商GasLog与西班牙国家电力（Endesa）的一家子公司签订了一项新的长期租赁协议，以购买其现有的未签订租赁协议的新造船GasLog Warsaw。
GasLog计划于2019年7月从三星重工接收这艘18万立方米的Mark III Flex Plus低压二冲程推进船。
GasLog周四在一份声明中称，将于2021年5月开始向西班牙国家电力提供为期8年的定期租船合同。
GasLog首席执行官Paul Wogan表示：“在2021年5月开始对西班牙国家电力的长期租赁之前，该船将在我们预计现货市场强劲的时期内上市，特别是在2019/2020和2020/2021年冬季。”
Wogan说：“加上GasLog Gladstone号船只的近期交付，向壳牌全资子公司租赁10年，这是GasLog今年一个非常成功的开端。”
他补充说，自公司投资者日以来，GasLog已与三家高质量的交易商签订了六艘新造船的长期合同，进一步增强了公司到2022年将目标交付至两倍以上的综合运营利率息税折旧及摊销前利润的信心。
GasLog Warsaw号船只计划于2021年5月向西班牙国家电力交付为期8年的固定期限，每个期限可选择6年，租赁费率与周期中费率一致。
在开始对西班牙国家电力为期8年的租约后，GasLog的合作伙伴将有权根据综合协议收购船只。
因此，GasLog合作伙伴的潜在租赁船只将增加至12艘液化天然气运输船，租期为5年或更长。

GasLog agrees GasLog Warsaw charter with Endesa
Monaco-based LNG shipper GasLog signed a new long-term charter deal with a unit of Endesa for its existing uncommitted newbuild vessel, the GasLog Warsaw.
GasLog is scheduled to take delivery of the 180,000 cubic meter Mark III Flex Plus vessel with low-pressure two-stroke propulsion from Samsung Heavy Industries in July 2019.
The eight-year fixed-term charter to Endesa will commence in May 2021, GasLog said in a statement on Thursday.
Paul Wogan, CEO of GasLog, stated, “before commencing its long-term charter to Endesa in May 2021, the vessel will be available during a period when we expect the spot market to be strong, especially during the 2019/2020 and 2020/2021 winters.”
“Combined with the recent delivery of the GasLog Gladstone, which immediately commenced its 10-year charter to a wholly owned subsidiary of Royal Dutch Shell, it has been a very successful start to the year for GasLog,” Wogan said.
He added that since the company’s investor day, GasLog has ordered or chartered six newbuild vessels on long term contracts with three high quality counterparties, further strengthening the company’s confidence in delivering the target to more than double consolidated run-rate EBITDA by 2022.
The GasLog Warsaw is scheduled to deliver to Endesa in May 2021 for a fixed eight-year term, with two optional periods of six years each. The rate of hire for the charter is in line with mid-cycle rates.
Following the commencement of the eight-year charter to Endesa, GasLog Partners will have the right to acquire the vessel pursuant to the omnibus agreement between GasLog and GasLog Partners.
As a result, GasLog Partners’ potential dropdown pipeline will increase to 12 LNG carriers with charter length of five years or longer.
