Lloyd's Register (LR) has provided approval in principle for the design of a new LNG bunkering vessel, Ship & Bunker reported. The vessel is designed with a capacity of 12,500 cubic meters.
The approval was specifically granted to CSSC Huangpu Wenchong Shipbuilding. This development marks a step forward in the design and potential construction of larger LNG bunkering infrastructure.
The approval in principle signifies that the vessel's design meets the necessary technical and safety standards set by Lloyd's Register. This is a crucial stage before moving to detailed design and construction phases.
The 12,500 cubic meter capacity indicates a significant size for an LNG bunkering vessel, suggesting an increasing demand for larger-scale LNG fuel delivery to ships.
