North America’s first LNG bunker barge

Six StirLNG-4 Cryogenerators for first North American LNG bunker Barge

North America’s first LNG bunker barge, owned by Clean Marine Energy LLC, currently under construction at Conrad Shipyards Orange TX will be equipped with 6 StirLNG-4 Cryogenerators for Boil off Gas (BOG) management. For this specific project the Cryogenerators will be executed with an extended shaft and bulk head seal between the cooler and the electrical motor.

The ABS classed barge will be delivered to Jacksonville, Florida in the third quarter of 2016 to service TOTE’s new build Marlin Class container vessels and other LNG-powered vessels in and around the Port of Jacksonville.

One of the other project partners is GTT of France / Houston TX
