Wärtsilä Corporation, Press release, 7 September 2017 at 2.00 pm EET
The technology group Wärtsilä will supply the cargo handling system and cargo
tanks for a new 3000 cubic metre capacity LNG bunker barge. The vessel will be
owned by LNG Shipping, a consortium between Belgium based Victrol and CFT
Corporation based in France. The barge is being built in Romania and will be
outfitted in the Netherlands. When delivered, it will be chartered by Shell
Western LNG B.V. (Shell), operating out of Rotterdam to provide the company with
additional flexibility to bunker LNG fuelled ships, including vessels operating
on Europe's inland waterways. The order with Wärtsilä, was booked in June.
The full scope of Wärtsilä solutions comprises the cargo handling system, the
cargo tanks, and installation of the cargo arrangement onboard the vessel.
"Undoubtedly the award of this contract was based largely on Wärtsilä's vast
experience and broad in-house know-how concerning gas systems. Our strength
throughout the LNG value chain is well known, and this new bunker vessel
provides yet another link to this chain," says Timo Koponen, Vice President,
Flow & Gas Solutions, Wärtsilä Marine Solutions.
"Wärtsilä is a leader in gas handling technology and we are pleased to have them
as a partner in this newbuild project. Furthermore, their ability to provide the
equipment on a fast-track basis is important for the delivery scheduling of this
barge," says Gisele Maes Buelens, Victrol NV.

number of gas segment applications, including for all types of gas carriers,
