Did you know that an STS transfer could be a “lightering” op? Lightering is the transfer of oil or gas from larger vessels to smaller ones to navigate shallow waters or reach ports with size restrictions. This technique is used to optimize the delivery of these products and ensures that they can reach their final destinations efficiently, even in challenging maritime environments. It's a common practice in the oil and gas industry, especially when transporting crude oil from offshore oil fields to refineries. Smaller shuttle tankers or barges are typically used for lightering operations. #maritimeindustry #shiptoship #oilandgas #factfriday #port #mooringmaster #maritime #refinery #oilfields #offshore

📢 This marks “the single largest one-step #ship acquisition program of any single entity in the history of the #LNG industry,” as QatarEnergy's giant #shipbuilding program reaches 104 conventional LNG #vessels. The deals for 19 more LNG #ships cater for the operation of six vessels by CMES LNG Carrier Investment, another six by Shandong Marine Energy (Singapore), and three by MISC Group. While these 15 LNG vessels are being constructed at Samsung Heavy Industries in South Korea, the remaining four vessels, which will be operated by a joint venture of "K" line (Kawasaki Kisen Kaisha, Ltd) and Hyundai Glovis, are being built at Hanwha Ocean, formerly Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering (DSME), also in South Korea. #oilgas #naturalgas #oilandgasnews #energy #offshoreenergy #oilandgas #shipping #maritime #shippingnews #maritimenews #decarbonization

Interest ‘high’ as Evangelos Marinakis prepares to sell container ship fleet: Focus will turn to offloading vessels as $3.1bn deal to acquire 11 LNG carriers is completed https://lnkd.in/e2YMbmu3 #naturalgas #cncmachining #metal3dprinting #LNG #powderbedfusion #cleanenergy

WinGD collaborates with KSS Line for NH3-fuelled gas carriers WinGD has signed a memorandum of understanding with Korea-based gas and petrochemicals transportation specialist KSS Line to explore the use of X-DF-A engines for future newbuild projects. The companies will focus on 52cm- and 62cm-bore versions of the dual-fuel ammonia engines, suitable for midsize and very large gas carriers (VLGC). The agreement is the latest of several collaborations under which WinGD is working with experts from across key shipbuilding locations and vessel segments to develop its ammonia capabilities. The scope of the cooperation will extend beyond engine technology, also focusing on the performance and maintenance solutions necessary for using alternative fuel. https://bit.ly/46i0Mht #methanol #efuel #energy #sustainable #energytransition #futurefuel #cleanfuel #alternativefuel #marine #maritime
