LNG packages for German vessels
India-based INOXCVA is to supply LNG storage tanks and install equipment in the tank connection space of LNG fuel gas packages for Germany’s TGE Marine.
The new contracts are for six units of 770 M3 LNG tanks for the Crowley Maritime Corporation’s two ConRo vessels (2,400 teu) to be built at VT Halter Marine Shipyard in the USA.
“INOXCVA is proud to be associated with TGE Marine for these prestigious projects and is fully geared to take up the increasing opportunities coming from North America, Europe and Far East markets,” said Vijay Kalaria, assistant vice president, INOXCVA.
The units are double-walled vacuum insulated type C tanks and will be built under strict compliance of DNV rules/IGC Code, ASME ‘U’ stamp and with US Coast Guard approval.
They will be shipped in ready-to-install condition from INOXCVA’s facilities in Kandla Special Economic Zone, India.
The first contract is for a Rolls-Royce Marine project involving the conversion of an oil tanker to natural gas fuel under BV Class. It consists of 155m³ capacity for two systems for LNG marine gas fuel units.
“We look forward to the exciting times ahead that both the companies see together in this segment,” added Mr Kalaria.
