Multipurpose LNG, LPG and ethylene gas carrier, 7500 cbm

Remontowa SA delivered its first gas carrier in April 2009. This super-versatile, environmental friendly and technically sophisticated gas carrier has been ordered from Remontowa SA by Dutch operator, Rotterdam-based Anthony Veder Rederijzaken BV and built at REMONTOWA Group's Northern Shipyard (Stocznia Polnocna SA). Anthony Veder was originally asked to build a small LNG carrier on behalf of Norwegian LNG distributor Gasnor in 2006. The diesel/gas-electric driven, multipurpose gas carrier, of the 1889 type (design) and B 604/1 yard number, launched on May 7, 2008, is a unique vessel - one of the first such units worldwide, and the first one built at any European shipyard.

The vessel is unusual in being designed to carry a variety of gas cargoes: liquefied natural gas (LNG), liquefied petroleum gases (LPG) or ethylene. The LNG will be transported at minus 163 degrees centigrade and the vessel is very environmentally-friendly because it will use the LNG as fuel, significantly decreasing emissions. When not engaged in regional distribution of LNG, for which it has been specifically designed, the new ship from Remontowa can be used to transport other gases such as liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) and petrochemical gases, including ethylene. On completion the latest newbuilding from Remontowa goes on long term charter to Gasnor, carrying gas along the coast of Norway.

The ship will also play an important part in an environmentally-friendly system of LNG fuelled ferries to be operated in Norway. Remontowa SA has also won a tender to build some of these environmentally friendly gas fuelled double-ended ferries. The first ever LNG tanker for Poland and Remontowa is also the first for Anthony Veder, as the 7,500 cbm vessel also takes the Rotterdam-based shipping company, well known for operation of LPG and ethylene carriers, into the LNG sector.

 

Remontowa's 7500 cbm LNG / LEG / LPG tanker – principal characteristics

 

Type & application

Liquefied Gas Carrier, type 2G, designed as a two grade cargo vessel for the simultaneous transportation of two cargoes (one cooled, one uncooled), intended for the transport of liquefied gases with a maximum cargo density of 0,65 t/m³ in two independent cylindrical type C tanks located in separate compartments.

Vessel is suitable to carry methane (LNG), ethylene, ethane, propylene, propane, butylene, and butene.

The vessel is a single main deck design with transom stern and bulbous bow.

 

Classification, regulations & flag

The ship is designed for world-wide trade, in accordance with the international rules and regulations and constructed according to Bureau Vertias for class notation:

BUREAU VERITAS I *HULL *MACH *AUT-UMS, Liquefied gas carrier, Unrestricted navigation, ICE CLASS IB, MON-SHAFT,
