LNG

The American Bureau of Shipping, the US classification society, said a small-scale LNG carrier, the world’s first such vessel to be fitted with an innovative cargo containment system based on IMO requirements for independent type A tanks, has been delivered to the shipping line from the Chinese shipbuilders.

The American Bureau of Shipping, the US maritime classification society, and South Korean shipbuilder Samsung Heavy Industries are to cooperate on a next generation of LNG carriers in a joint development project signed at the Gastech 2019 conference in Houston.
