Sept 18 (LNGJ) - Spanish engineering company Sener has signed a contract with Venice-based Italian port and services company Rimorchiatori Riuniti Panfido to deliver basic engineering and technical assistance in the construction of a liquefied natural gas barge transporter to operate in the Adriatic. Panfido is a leading tug and barge owner in Europe and the barge transporter project is co-funded by the European Union. Sener said the unit’s design is a combination of an LNG-fueled tractor tug and an LNG bunkering non-propelled pontoon with 4,000 cubic metres capacity. The deal is one of many contracts being announced this week at the Gastech 2018 exhibition and conference in the Spanish city of Barcelona.
