AAL: Sixth methanol-ready MPP newbuild delivered
Singapore-based shipping company AAL Shipping has taken delivery of AAL Dammam, its sixth methanol-ready dual-fuel Super B-class multipurpose heavy lift vessel.
The naming and delivery ceremony for the 32,000 dwt newbuilding was held at the CSSC Huangpu Wenchong Shipyard in China on June 27, 2025.
As informed, AAL Dammam immediately entered service, transporting offshore renewable energy cargo from China to the UK on its maiden voyage.
Launched in 2024, the third-generation of AAL’s eight heavy lifters can accommodate over 150,000 FRT of cargo, with three 350 mt heavy lift cranes. Two large box-shaped cargo holds are said to be optimized for drybulk, featuring adjustable pontoon triple decks and no center line bulkhead. The units have a length of 179.9 meters and a breadth of 30 meters.
Initially, the company had ordered four identical methanol-ready ships in November 2021. However, it subsequently expanded the orderbook to six and later to eight Super B-class units.
