Sept 17 (LNGJ) - OMV Petrom, the Romanian subsidiary of Austrian oil and gas group OMV, has conducted the first LNG delivery and fuel operation at the Damen Shipyard in the Romanian Black Sea port of Mangalia, the largest shipyard in southeast Europe. “The product was used to fuel a ship equipped with LNG engines. It is the first ship of this type, built in Romania, in the Damen Shipyard,” said OMV Petrom.
Damen is building two LNG-Hybrid RoRo Ferries for Canadian company Seaspan. The vessel that received the LNG in a jetty-to-ship operation from an OMV LNG supply truck tanker was the “Seaspan Trader”, which is undergoing sea trials. The vessel is scheduled to join Seaspan’s fleet later in 2021.
