LNG

April 18 (LNGJ) - Crowley Maritime Corp., the US shipping line, has taken delivery of its newest vessel, the “Louisiana”, the third of four product tankers being built by the Philly Shipyard of Philadelphia. “The new tankers are at the forefront of the industry for their potential future conversion to LNG propulsion,” Crowley said. Crowley’s fourth product tanker is under construction. The “Louisiana” joins sister ships “Ohio” and “Texas”, the first tankers to receive the American Bureau of Shipping’s LNG-Ready Level 1 approval. This allows Crowley to convert the tanker to LNG propulsion in the future.
