SINGAPORE, Oct 27 (Bernama-BUSINESS WIRE) -- AG&P (Atlantic, Gulf and Pacific Company), the leading infrastructure solutions provider, today announced the launch of its ultra-shallow draft 4000 – 8000m³ LNG carrier (LNGC), capable of accessing rivers and shallow harbors with a draft of only two meters. In a first for the rapidly emerging small-scale LNG infrastructure industry in Southeast Asia, the LNGC will serve as a ‘work horse’ for near shore LNG milk-run deliveries to locations that have limited access including shallow rivers and restricted harbors with low water depth.
Conceived by AG&P, the first-of-its-kind vessel, the LNGC work horse has a unique hull design that reduces the waterline entrance angle and vessel resistance in waves. It can be ballasted in open water improving both stability and speed and does not need handling tugs. The vessel cargo capacity is easily scalable from 4000 – 8000m³ with flexibility to travel near shore or take on LNG cargo from a floating storage unit (FSU) anchored offshore. It can navigate open seas as well as riverine waterways with a minimum speed requirement as low as eight knots.
