Fuel gas system agreement for Skangass vessel


LNG-fuelled vessel is scheduled to be delivered during the third quarter of 2017.

Bonn-headquartered TGE Marine Gas Engineering has signed a contract with Neptun Werft GmbH for the design and supply of a cargo handling system and liquefied natural gas (LNG) fuel gas system for an LNG shuttle carrier. The agreement includes the option for an additional vessel.

The 18,000-cubic-metre (cbm) ship is an extended version of the 15,400-cbm LNG shuttle carrier Coral Energy, built by Meyer Werft in 2012. It is scheduled to be delivered during the third quarter of 2017.

The vessel has been long-term chartered by Skangass and is scheduled to operate in the Skagerrak, Kattegat and Baltic Sea areas.

"We are extremely pleased to have been selected again by Meyer/Neptun Werft as supplier for the gas handling system," commented Manfred Küver, TGE Marine's CEO.

"With three currently contracted LNG shuttle carrier newbuildings under construction and four ships in operation, TGE underlines its leading market position in this new segment," the company added in a statement.
