Construction of an ABS-classed LNG carrier with 45,000 cubic meters of storage capacity for Saga LNG Shipping Pte. Ltd. was commemorated on 11 September 2018.
Steel cutting ceremony
China Merchants Heavy Industry’s (CMHI) shipyard in Jiangsu held a steel cutting ceremony on 11 September 2018 to commemorate the start of construction of an ABS-classed LNG carrier with 45,000 cubic meters of storage capacity.
IMO Type A LNG containment system
The bespoke carrier is the first of two such vessels ordered in late 2015 by David Wu’s Saga LNG Shipping aimed at bringing new life to the dwindling midsized LNGC fleet.
The vessel, hull numbered CMHI-188, will be the first LNGC to feature an IMO Type A LNG containment system developed by Norway’s LNG New Technologies (LNT).
The containment system
LNT’s novel containment system for LNG and other liquefied gasses, dubbed the “LNT A-BOX®“, features an IMO independent tank type A as the primary barrier, a conventional cargo tank support system and liquid-tight thermal insulation attached to the hull compartment which acts as a full secondary barrier.
Cost effective means
“Reaching today’s milestone marks another significant step forward in realizing a goal now five years in the making. Together with our clients and partners, we continue to move towards the optimization of marine LNG logistics in the small to midsized segment by means of practical, cost-effective technology”, said David Wu, Saga LNG Shipping’s Founder.
Tailor-made LNG assets in scope
Based around the LNT A-BOX®technology, Saga LNG shipping aims to build, own and operate a series of tailor-made small and midsized LNG assets targeted at projects currently in various stages of development.
Types of assets included in Saga LNG’s scope are FSUs, LNG Barges & LNGCs, FSRUs, FLNGs, and LNG Bunker Vessels, all within the 1,000 to 100,000 cubic meter range.
